Graphic Design is everywhere.
A graphic designer’s life is a fast-paced, deadline-oriented, and ever-changing profession. It is well-suited for those who have a lifelong love of learning. It’s a profession requiring visual, technical, and organizational skills. Graphic designers have an ethical responsibility to the viewer. This truth requires a Designer to possess integrity and honesty in the professional practice of design.
The graphic design major is the culmination of years of study, experimentation, critique, and creative problem-solving. Students learn how to design, how to think critically, communicate with purpose, and create work that serves others with clarity and integrity.
Regarding the use of AI: “Intellect remains fundamentally a human endeavor. It cannot replicate human creativity, ethical judgment, or the ability to grasp the deeper significance of new ideas.”
