Websites, logos, posters, apps - almost everything you see has had a graphic designer's touch. And if it hasn't, it probably should have.

In the Design and Visual Arts classes you will learn how to effectively produce drawings to make your concepts come to life. You will learn the graphic software used in the industry to produce work and you will develop a portfolio that showcases your ability to follow a design process as well as complete projects for presentation and marketability.
