Building on the foundations of art making and the historical context of contemporary art and design, students expand their technical and conceptual skills in the discipline of graphic design. Students learn to analyze visual problems, explore advanced concepts, and use appropriate media to generate solutions that result in a professional portfolio of finished work.
