Visual Communication Schools
Visual communication schools offer certificate, diploma, and degree programs to students who want to join the vibrant visual design and production industry. Independent fields within the larger visual communication profession include computer animation, art and illustration, photography, multimedia, graphic and logo design, website graphics, print production, and desktop publishing.
Visual communication specialists work in almost every sector of today's economy, producing film, video, print and web graphics for companies in finance, manufacturing, sales and marketing, advertising and public relations, broadcasting, entertainment, healthcare, education, and government.
Visual Communication School Specializations and Degrees Depending on their career goals and experience, students attend on-campus and online visual communication schools to earn certificates in specialized design and production software, or to complete their undergraduate and graduate degrees in visual design, visual theory, and campaign management.
Courses can include basic theory and artistic design, illustration, photography, color theory, print and web computer-aided design software, typography and font analysis, 2D and 3D animation techniques, digital image editing, corporate branding, medical and technical illustration, art direction and staff management, and instructional design.
Design classes combine theoretical studies with hands-on laboratory experience using hard-copy presentation materials as well as computer-assisted design and animation software. Classes also give students the opportunity to create, develop, and produce a visual product or campaign from inception to client presentation.
Students at visual communication schools are often required to accept working internships with professional design firms, studios, or advertising agencies to help build a portfolio for the workplace or to develop ongoing relationships with industry professionals. |
