Media Technologies– Design for Web and Print Concentration

If visual creativity, making digital art, creating social media content, branding, or marketing fresh ideas sounds interesting to you, and you think helping others communicate their ideas visually might be fun, then consider 每日大赛’s Design for Web and Print Program. We give students the tools & techniques needed to build a career in a creative field--from marketing, print design, web design, branding, and even user experience.

Our Design for Web and Print (DWP) concentration teaches students to communicate ideas visually through a combination of creativity and technical skills. Our students learn to create designs for both print and digital media, such as logos, websites, advertisements, and packaging, by studying principles like typography, color theory, and layout. DWP includes hands-on experience, industry-standard software training, and portfolio development through real-world projects. 

We combine creativity with technical skills, helping students learn how to use design software (such as Adobe Creative Cloud), choose colors, create layouts, and develop visual concepts. We explore topics like typography, branding, user interface design, and visual storytelling. We also work on real-world projects with local nonprofit organizations to build a portfolio that showcases our students’ design abilities. 

We train in industry-standard software for creating and manipulating graphics for both print and digital media. 

Typical job opportunities in Design for Web and Print: Art Director, Brand Identity Designer, UI/UX Designer, Motion Graphics Designer, Web Designer, Packaging Designer, Illustration Artist, and Advertising Designer
