Program description
The Visual Communication and Design Specialization provides students with a comprehensive exploration of visual communication, graphic design, and the application of visual media in media production. Students are acquainted with a process-oriented methodology for media production and visual communication projects, emphasizing the complexities of design, layout, graphics, typography, color, and all other facets of design work.
The coursework in this specialty is both project-based and process-oriented, allowing students to use their abilities, creativity, and media production from their initial trimester. Your design efforts will prioritize addressing and providing solutions to tangible real-world issues. Rather than creating a poster for amusement, you will develop a poster for a social campaign that you conceptualize. Rather of discussing how design might provide new answers to issues, you will create projects aimed at addressing real-world challenges. The projects you will do will provide you with experience as a graphic designer, user experience designer, social media content designer, and will also equip you to become a design entrepreneur.
