Looking to launch your career designing marketing or identity pieces for large companies or small businesses? The Foundation Certificate program imparts the fundamental technical and aesthetic skills required for design in a business environment.
As a student, you'll learn in-demand software programs that a marketing designer needs to know: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Microsoft Powerpoint. You'll prepare digital images, illustrations, and presentations, learning how to address the challenges of color, typography, composition, and visual identity design.
Hands-on projects focus on essential skills and provide experience in business-focused design scenarios. Class assignments include digital imaging and retouching, icons and illustrations, presentation graphics, color, typography, and composition studies, print and display advertising design, and brand identity development.
Seeking inspiration? It's included. Get critique, feedback, and mentoring from an industry-leading faculty throughout your program. Draw on a resourceful student services team for advisement and support. Watch your portfolio of work evolve on your MyGallery page and network with peers in the student community DesignSessions.
