About The Class

Applied Graphic Design 2 GRART 122 provides hands-on experiences to increase the student’s knowledge of graphic design principles, color theories and practices, and communication concepts. Students will develop the basic skills of graphic designers; use accepted problem-solving techniques and generate creative designs through the design sequence. Teamwork will be introduced to accomplish project-specific objectives written by the student team. Visualization skills will be refined while students learn the practical steps to effective graphic design.

This semester GRART 122 is offered as an in-person class. We will meet on campus in the Graphic Arts labs. Lectures and assignments will be presented in class. All in-class exercises will be completed in class, as well as the texts and quizzes. Your attendance is required and it is part of your grade.

How does this class fit into the Graphic Arts program?

GRART 122 is a required class for certificates and degrees. This class is the second applied graphic design offered in our program.

If you are enrolled in this class you probably have already taken other Graphic Arts classes, such as GRART 34, GRART 36, and others.

Most students in this class are matriculation students. Some students are close to graduating, while others may be in their second semester.

If you have come to this point in your studies and you are not a matriculating student, you may look into it. Matriculating students are eligible for grants and financial aid benefits, such as tuition waivers, and money for books or supplies. I highly recommend you enroll in a certificate of degree program in Graphic Arts and start working toward your academic goal.
