In our fully online program, we will cover the identification of multiple principles and elements within good design—color theory, composition, typography, and more—while demonstrating how artistic decisions can create cohesive, expressive branding through the use of templates and style guides. We’ll also work with various Adobe Creative Suite software programs to explore effective visual communication strategies and best practices. Throughout the program, you’ll complete multiple assignments designed to help you start building a portfolio of your work and a personal brand to demonstrate your skills to prospective clients or employers.
