A hybrid minor in Communication Design provides students with a broad overview of the impact that Advertising, Graphic Design and Illustration can have in the context of cultural and social issues. It also introduces them to the skills required to create intelligent and compelling communications. While developing an awareness of the current issues and trends that affect these practices, students will also engage in visual problem solving exercises and projects.
