Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design
Overview
The Graphic Design program at Drexel prepares students to inform, persuade, and entertain through the creative use of word and image. Graphic Design students learn to conceptualize, design, and produce visual communication in all sorts of media, including books, magazines, posters, ads, packaging, Web sites, interactive media, information systems, exhibition design, motion graphics and more. Students use this work to develop an expansive portfolio of their work for future employment.
Through a balance of traditional, technical artistic studies, and foundation coursework in humanities and social sciences, the Westphal College's Graphic Design curriculum helps students develop a sophisticated approach to creative problem-solving and hone skills in typography, image generation, corporate identity, information graphics, three-dimensional, design and motion graphics. Working in both two and three-dimensional projects, students utilize the latest electronic applications and emerging technologies to stay current with the industry.
Drexel Graphic Design graduates are employed by advertising agencies, design studios, corporate design departments and publishers.
