Shoe, Apparel, and Graphic Design

Graphic Design is art that combines images, words, and ideas to communicate messages to an audience. This is an applied arts program that often simulates working for a brand company. Students will focus on creative problem solving as well as sophisticated technical skills. Topics of study begin with an investigation of photography, the principles of design, and the basic tools and techniques of desktop publishing. The Adobe Creative Suite software will be used as a tool in approaching assignments such as: logos, flyer and poster design, shoe design and apparel design. Advanced projects may include book jacket design, magazine layout, and image design for corporate identity.
