BFA in Graphic Design
Graphic Design
You are bombarded with images. Graphic design is everywhere. . .from the graphics on your favorite cereal box to the designs on your snowboard, or the logo on your favorite pair of sneakers. It is a major part of this website, your textbooks, newspapers and the brochures you receive in the mail. Today, graphic design consists of traditional careers in graphic design and the newer career paths in the areas often referred to as new media. Bringing together images and text to move, to sell, to identify, to empower, graphic design is as old as cave paintings and as new as tomorrow.
