Online Design Degree Programs
Designers are visual artists.
They use creativity and a strong sense of style to create every aspect of our world—from the indoor spaces where we work, live and play to the clothes we wear, the movies we watch, the ads we see, and the websites we visit.
Today’s designers have to be more than great artists, however. They must also be proficient with computer graphics technology. That’s why many online design degrees and courses include computer training. A few career opportunities for designers include:
- Fashion designer
- Web designer
- Animator
- Graphic designer
- Interior designer
- Multimedia designer
Students working toward the Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design & Multimedia will learn to use knowledge of fine art, marketing and computer software to visually communicate an idea. Our faculty of industry professionals can provide:
- Instruction and practice in effective page layout, web design, image editing, print production and digital design
- Coursework that can help prepare you for industry-standard Adobe certificates*, such as InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Photoshop
- Assistance in creating a portfolio to showcase skills and expertise to prospective employers
Program names, course topics and outcomes may vary by location. Please speak with a Westwood College admissions representative for full program details.
