2012 Spring Open House
Interested Students Converge
on the Creative Center  

On Saturday, March 17, faculty, staff and prospective students gathered on campus to see what a graphic design education and career looks like. Visitors took tours of both the college and Dotzler Creative Arts, the design studio next door, as well as hearing from the Financial Aid and Admissions departments about the upcoming school year. If you are considering a graphic design career, call Rich Caldwell at 888-898-1789 x216 to see if the Creative Center is a good fit for you.


Infographics
Featured Projects: Infographics

 

In multiple assignments during their time here, students are required to create infographics. Infographics are exactly that - graphics that contain information; the challenge is to create charts and graphs that are interesting to read! Graphic designers must be able to take that information and present it in such a way that it is not only attention-grabbing but visually pleasing at the same time.

I can't believe the summer-like weather we've been getting. The pansies I planted in my yard last fall have survived the whole winter and are blooming like crazy!

As we head for the final months of the school year, I wish both teachers and students increased motivation and organization. Let's end this school year with a bang!
