We are living in an information age. Fax machines, cellular
phones, world-wide media coverage, personal computers, and
internet access have created global market interdependencies.
Designers, creative directors, and visual art professionals
play key roles in giving visual form to a barrage of data.
As a profession, the communication arts have tremendous import
in shaping the culture. Designers help to make sense of that
which can be overwhelming and art directors give visual form
to dreams and fantasies.
We here at the Department of Art and Design train our Graphic
Designers, Art Directors, and Illustrators to enter the 21st
century. By instructing students in the history of their profession,
by exposing them to the ever-evolving computer-based technologies,
by firmly rooting them in aesthetic principles, and by placing
them in immediate on-site internships, we prepare students
to enter the multi-cultural, digital world.
