| The Graphic Design program focuses on the basics
of good design through the Iterative design process: problem
definition, analysis, idea exploration, idea development, focus,
refinement, and production. As the field of Graphic Design covers
everything from traditional print design to web to motion, the
Cowley program focuses on a solid grounding in the principles
of good design. From this firm foundation, the student can expand
to any of the many visual communication careers. |
