Looking to begin a career as a freelance Web designer or join a Web development team as a graphic designer? The Advanced Certificate program helps you acquire essential skills and build a creative portfolio with advanced classes.
As a student, you'll master the software programs that every Web designer needs to know: Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Flash. You'll learn how to create digital images and animations, and build standards-compliant Web sites using either HTML/CSS hand-coding or Web editing programs.
At the Advanced level, students choose a professional concentration: Advanced Web or Flash Design. Challenging hands-on projects are geared to helping you hone your work and build your portfolio. Class assignments provide scenarios in e-commerce, interactivity, and accessibility or Flash motion graphics, site development, and animation.
Upon completing the Advanced Level, you'll present a body of work to a portfolio review panel for feedback. The focus of the class is to help you present your work effectively to potential employers.
Need motivation? 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.
