Graphic Design
Cambrian’s award-winning Graphic Design faculty will challenge you through course work and diverse projects to help you develop your creative talents and become an excellent visual communicator.
Using current industry software in the College's graphic design labs, you will learn how to creatively manipulate space, type, images, and colour to take your work from concept sketch to a strategically-designed printed, web-based, or electronic form. Projects provide you with practical experience in advertising campaigns, corporate branding, font design, website design, and much more.
You’ll also graduate with a professional-grade portfolio that will be invaluable as you meet with potential employers and/or freelance clients.
Check out the 2019 graduate exhibition, Pixel Pushers, to see what you’ll get up to as a student in Cambrian’s Graphic Design program.
