2018-19 Unit Plan
Graphic Design

Mission Statement

Comprised of a dynamic grouping of disciplines—graphic arts, interactive design, digital arts and illustration, animation, 3D设计和数字视频-平面设计系为学生提供进入竞争激烈的行业所需的技术培训和设计技能. Committed to empowering students, our program provides a multidisciplinary design education, prepares students to be future designers, and strengthens links to the professional and university communities.

Program Description

十大网赌正规平台平面设计课程的目标是为学生在设计行业的入门级职位做准备. 成功完成课程并计划获得四年制学位的学生将为他们选择的设计学院的申请打下坚实的基础.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests "Employment of Multimedia Designers" is expected to grow 8 percent, as fast as average for similar occupations from 2016 to 2026, but this does not take into account that Design Students are learning more than basic Print Design, and are more in line with the BLS statistics of Web Developers, UX and UI Designers, where the growth is expected to be close to 20% by 2020.

This past Fall 2017 semester, 英国《全国十大赌博官网》多媒体/平面设计专业的教员对平面设计或多媒体研究专业毕业的37名学生进行了调查, and 34 of these students are currently working in local design positions within local businesses, the other students have started their own businesses, or are working a freelance designers and supporting themselves through local freelance design. In Feb of 2018, one female student in her third semester within the Multimedia and Graphic Design program, obtained a full-time position with a local industry leader, Build.com. The student's starting wage is $16hr, with full benefits.

As demand for design continues to increase from advertisers, publishers, and computer design firms. Some of this increase is expected to stem from the expansion of the video entertainment market, including drones, virtual reality, and 3D printing technologies, all of which are being implemented in our MSP department.

Moreover, 随着交互式媒体网站设计项目的需求增加,尤其需要具有网站设计和动画经验的设计师, video games, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, and other technology. 随着广告公司为越来越多的产品和服务制作印刷和网络营销和宣传材料,对平面设计师的需求也将增加.

目前主校区有1名全职教师和5名副教师,教授白天和夜校课程.

In 2017, the college applied for and received a $500,000 two-year Makerspace development grant. This space is currently in development and will increase FTES, and skills building for students across disciplines and especially within the Design and Arts departments.

The program offers 8 courses in Graphic Design and Multimedia Design, and has submitted curriculum for another 6 courses to be added over the next two years. There are another seven classes that crossover from the Multimedia Studies program. We have also added two new Drone Management and Drone Video courses, as well as a Makerspace course to align with our new Makerspace in the Arts building.

Class sizes are based on the number of available computers (25 in each of three Apple computer labs).

Student Learning/Administrative Unit Outcomes

在所有的多媒体课程中都进行了反思,教师们开始对他们的课程中slo的表现进行更简洁和深思熟虑的评论. In many ourses, the wide range of student abilities within the individual classes that are stacked, do not allow faculty to easily cover content relevant to the specific course and needs of students. In other courses, 教师们计划在项目和课程审查中对学生和slo的需求进行更深入的研究.

Replace 10-year old Cintiq monitors with New Cintiq Monitors Based on research by our computer tech, Ross Pyromski, our 11 year-old Wacom Cintiq monitors will be unusable within one semester. Due to Wacom and Apple Computer not updating drivers and no longer supporting the tablets, students will no longer be able to use the tablets. Labor information: The projected change in employment of graphic designers from 2016 to 2026 varies by industry, but overall employment is expected to grow by 8%, the average among all industries. UX, UI, 采用虚拟现实和无人机等新技术的领域正在迅速扩张,公司需要受过专门培训的员工. Median pay is $65,300 per year and $31.40 per hour for basic design skills.
