Visual Communication Design
Visual Communication Design - Graphic Design Concentration
As a visual communication design major at Grace, you鈥檒l learn to use the elements of art and design to create attractive, cohesive work that serves your client鈥檚 needs.
You鈥檒l take classes founded on the truth that as image-bearers, we create to honor and reflect our Creator. Though we teach the principles of design, we also honor the mystery that lies behind creation as a spiritual discipline.
In your classes, you鈥檒l explore what makes professional design so compelling. You鈥檒l discover how art informs the best design, and your work will be evaluated not only on its aesthetic appeal but on how well it serves its purpose. The first half of the graphic design degree program covers art and design fundamentals. In the second, you鈥檒l apply what you鈥檝e learned in-studio classes. You鈥檒l finish with a senior thesis portfolio project, where you鈥檒l compile and present your work at a public exhibition.
At Grace, we believe that practice and feedback cultivate artistic excellence, which is why all students are required to complete an internship. Additionally, our VCD classes are project-based. You鈥檒l engage in client-focused work, provide a rationale for your design choices, revise your work, and give and receive constructive feedback.聽
With a graphic design concentration, your courses will emphasize digital design, teaching you to use programs such as Illustrator and Design Photoshop.
After you graduate with a bachelor鈥檚 in visual communication design, you鈥檒l be ready to design anywhere. VCD graduates at 黑料社have worked in production design, art direction, print and digital design, user experience design, and even mural design.
