Design, Visual, and Media Arts: Design for Digital Print

The Design, Visual, and Media Arts: Design for Digital Print pathway focuses on the creation of visual content specifically for print and digital publishing. Students learn how graphic design principles are applied to real-world materials such as posters, packaging, marketing pieces, and publications, while developing an understanding of how digital designs translate into high-quality printed products.

Instruction emphasizes layout, typography, color theory, and composition, along with the use of industry-standard design software and production techniques. Students gain hands-on experience preparing files for professional printing, understanding print specifications, and creating designs that meet client and industry standards.

Students may prepare for industry-recognized credentials such as Adobe Certified Professional certifications and benefit from exposure to print shops, marketing teams, and design professionals. This pathway prepares students for careers in graphic design, print production, and visual marketing, as well as continued study in graphic design, visual communications, or digital media.
