Courses vary between colleges; however, some or all of the following subjects may be covered: color science, design, computer assisted design (CAD), illustrative techniques and fonts, together with various software packages created to make graphic design faster, more accurate and suitable for electronic delivery.

Graphic design permeates virtually every aspect of our lives. From the candy bar wrapper to the logo on your favorite pair of sports shoes. All of these are the result of a Graphic Designer's labor. There is even evidence in outer space; wouldn't you have loved to have been responsible for the NASA logo?

Graphic Designers create visual solutions to communications problems. Your designs should have a purpose; to convey a mood, thought or characteristic of the product, service, or concept you are designing.

You will need to have creative flair as well as good communication skills in written, oral and visual contexts. Today, computer skills are a prerequisite for almost any job and Graphic Design is no exception. You would be strongly advised to have at least basic computer literacy for the course.

Junior Designer positions are available in advertising agencies, marketing companies, or in-house marketing departments of large corporations. Many Graphic Designers are self employed. Since the training for web design is quite similar, you may find employment as a web designer. Competition for top positions in prestigious Graphic Design houses and advertising agencies is intense.
