Associate of Arts - Graphics Communications

Graphic design is everywhere. Look around. Every book cover, CD cover, magazine was designed by someone. Every tee shirt with a design and web page was created by graphic designer. It has been said that the internet killed paper products, but there are more books and magazines published than ever before. Graphic design is a career where people make art for the real world, and get paid for doing it.

The graphics lab is filled with new large screen iMac computers, scanners, and latest Adobe software.
