Advanced College Diploma - Graphic Design (PAGD)

Cambrian’s award-winning Graphic Design faculty will challenge students through course work and diverse, real-world projects to help students develop their creative talents and become a professional visual communication designer. The Graphic Design curriculum is career-focused and rigorous, with attention given to both traditional skills and new technologies. In addition, students will develop skills in critical thinking, creativity and concept driven work, allowing students to be agile in the evolving and demanding industry of professional communication. Using current industry software in the College's state-of-the-art graphic design labs, students will learn how to creatively develop ideas and manipulate space, type, images, motion, code and colour to take their work from concept sketch to strategically-designed printed, web-based, or digital form. Projects provide students with applied experience in branding, identity (logos & trademarks) and environmental design, website design/development, print- and package-production, advertising design, illustration, photography, typography and much more.
