Graphic Design

The Herzing College Graphic Design programs instruct students how to visually convey a message or idea to the target audience, prompting them to take the desired action. To do this effectively, the basic elements of design must be utilized. Courses are taught using industry-standard software (Adobe Creative Suite) and include courses on peripheral skills such as drawing and photography. As part of the program, students will create examples of their work suitable for inclusion in a professional portfolio in order to showcase their strengths and talents to potential employers. Each program incorporates the required core courses for successful entry into this field and adds additional courses as required by the level of education the student pursues.
