Introduction

Graphic design surrounds us, from web pages to the logo on your sweatshirt, the cover of your cereal box, and the apps on your phone. Graphic design is the successful integration of words and images to craft meaningful and effective communication. We’re visual beings, after all. Education in graphic design will teach you how to properly employ design principles and use the tools of design to craft efficient messaging—and how to analyze and critique design. You’ll develop creative abilities and technical skills that translate to a wide variety of potential careers.

In Carroll University’s graphic design program, you’ll learn about the principles of design, color theory, typography, digital video, photography, 3D design, and multimedia production. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of graphic design theory and the digital tools needed to create effective design, whether in print or digital media. In addition to working with state-of-the-art software and hardware to create print, web, video, and cutting-edge digital projects, you’ll take courses in marketing, communications, computer science, and art.

Through additional course offerings from the art and business departments, you’ll develop your creative skills and learn about marketing as well. And our connections with the local professional design community mean numerous internships are available, where you’ll gain real-world experiences and networking opportunities. The major culminates with a capstone project where you’ll work alongside professional clients to develop actual marketing pieces. The project is customized to fit your particular abilities and interests. You’ll create professional-quality work and finish with a portfolio ready for your first job interviews.

Students with graphic design skills are an asset to any company, non-profit, or small business. The skills you acquire through this program will make you more marketable and desirable to hiring professionals in the industry. Our graduates work as graphic designers, creative directors, art directors, photographers, and web developers.
