Graphic Design CTE Program of Study
The Graphic Design program prepares students to use technical expertise, creativity, and esthetic principles to design and create visual concepts that meet specific commercial or promotional needs and inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. Graphic Design students will explore the history and societal and economic impact of the graphic design industry. They will examine legal and ethical considerations and business best practices unique to graphic design and related industries. Throughout the Graphic Design program, students learn and practice valuable real-world skills using industry-standard graphic design software to create professional-grade design projects. The program uses a delivery system comprising four integral parts: formal/technical instruction, experiential learning, work-based learning experiences, and the Career and Technical Student Organization, SkillUSA.
