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.
