About Parkland’s Graphic Design Program

Parkland's graphic design students learn to inform, motivate, engage and entertain an audience through visual communication. Our goal is to teach students how to effectively convey a client’s message and to create work that stands out in the market place. Our program consists of a solid foundation in design principles, art & design history, drawing and typography, followed by portfolio-building studio courses that enable students to put theory into practice. Our courses are grounded in visual literacy, creative problem solving and technology.
