Today, most graphic artists enjoy
careers designing a wide range of
visual materials in both digital and
traditional formats.
At Park, graphic design
students produce most of their work
in the digital environment of our
Macintosh studio.
In a specialized
sequence of graphic design courses
and electives, students learn visual
communication, typography,
page layout, illustration techniques,
photography and multimedia design
while producing professional-quality
design work for their portfolios. All
these skills are devoted to learning
to solve design problems for clients.
Students also do additional course
work in drawing, painting and
art history. Instruction models the
professional environment and usually
includes a senior year internship in
professional design settings.
Our graduates work in advertising,
marketing, photography, web site
development and public relations
firms, and as independent graphic
designers.
