What is Visual Communications?

Visual Communications combines commercial art and design with start-of-the art technology in a fast-paced and emerging field. Graduates will have the knowledge on how to generate imagery and learn to develop and design pieces of visual communication for marketing businesses and business products.

Specific applications such as Photoshop, InDesign, Quark, and Illustrator will be mastered enabling you to work on layout, paste-up, copy sizing, scanning, color separations and illustrations. You will have experience on both IBM-compatible and Macintosh computers.
