Overview

This program is designed for students passionate about visual communication, graphic design, and digital art. Students develop proficiency in industry-standard design tools and techniques—mastering digital illustration, typography, photo manipulation, vector graphics, and brand design.

Through hands-on, project-based learning, students transform ideas into professional media assets for both real and simulated clients. Real-world applications include designing high-impact promotional campaigns, event branding, publication layouts, and High Tech High School (HTHS) yearbook features.
