Visual Communication

The creative process extends beyond the screen and studio. Students share their work, exchange ideas, and discover new perspectives through exhibitions, presentations, and faculty review.



The Culminating Experience

Two paths.
One creative future.

01 / Graphic Design Emphasis

The Portfolio.

Graphic Design students develop and present a professional portfolio showcasing their strongest design work. The collection reflects their creative identity, conceptual thinking, visual communication skills, and technical abilities.

02 / Animation Emphasis

The Reel & Film.

Animation students produce a professional demo reel and an original short film or animation. Together, these works demonstrate storytelling, movement, technical proficiency, and individual artistic direction.

Different disciplines. A shared commitment to original creative work.
