Graphic Design
Certificate
Graphic Designers design the art and copy layouts for such media as books, magazines,
newspapers, television, and product packages. General duties of a Graphic Designer may
include conferring with a client to plan the layout design, determining the size and
arrangement of the illustrative material and copy to be used, painting or drawing a sample
of the finished advertisement for approval, preparing notes and instructions for workers
who assemble and prepare final layout for printing, reviewing the final layout and
suggesting improvements as needed, and operating computer systems to draw and print
charts, graphs, illustrations and other art work.
Students should prefer activities concerned with communicating ideas to people,
activities which require creative imagination and activities which provide satisfaction
from seeing your work in print.
