Design Program at CBU
cbudesign’s mission.
The Graphic Design and Digital Media Program, cbudesign, mission is train up young designers build a strong portfolio of work and an understanding of the digital trends and tools as they pertain to design. Through project work the students will learn history, underlying themes and best workflow practices to help them function in the design field.
The curriculum has been focused to teach a solid foundation in the tools of design then to move the student on to project work and then on to portfolio building and internship in the fourth year of studies.
Concentrations consisting of four-class clusters have been proposed for studies in photography, video/animation, and web design to complement the graphic design concentration. These areas have been identified by interest of students and their relevancy in the graphic design field.
The proposed curriculum contains art studio electives, art and design history, and project courses to give the student a comprehensive, relevant and competitive design education.
Year 1: Foundation—
Emersion into the technologies, culture and
history of design
Foundational courses in major areas of design. Image (photoshop), design (Illustrator), InDesign (typography), Drawing and Art History. Pre-Requisites in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are required for students to move to upper division coursework.
Year 2: Intermediate—
Study of methodology and craft
Upper division course work including two Art Studio electives challenge the student search for their own methods of ideation and process. The courses also stress image making and craft, that which separates great work from good work.
Year 3: Concentration—
Study areas of Photography, Design, Web, and Video/animation allow the student to pursue their own interests.
Concentration course will further enhance the student’s own interests and help them develop their own voice.
Year 4: Capstone—Independent Studies
