Digital Design

The Digital Design program provides a strong foundation in the diverse fields of a graphic designer. Students learn theory and experience hands-on application in the production of electronically generated media for print, television, film, websites, and mobile computing.

Students work with the Adobe Creative Cloud software to develop literacy and production skills.
