Recharging creative minds
You’re captivated by design and production, you just aren’t sure how to make a career out of your desire to design. Relax, that’s what we’re here for. As a graphics major you’ll know what it means to kern type, crop photos, and “lose the widows.” You’ll become intrigued by art direction, and know a stage is not just for acting it’s also for animating. And you’ll understand that speaking new languages prepares you for your journey to designing for the World Wide Web. Valencia’s A.S. degree program in Graphic & Interactive Design prepares graduates for careers in print and advertising design or web and interactive design, giving them the skills they need and insight from real-world designers. Graduates have landed jobs in design studios, advertising agencies, printing companies, web design firms, interactive design companies and other highly creative environments.
Orlando boasts a wide-reaching and wildly diverse graphics arts community. Designers here are involved in advertising, band poster design, web design, animation, interface design and everything in between.
