Within the context of the department, design is a process and way of thinking. Some of the work produced by students includes artist books, short films, graphic design, websites, app design, digital illustration, and marketing campaigns. Some of our students are destined to transfer to four year programs, some are retooling professional skills, and some life-long learners arrive eager to foster their design and creative skills. We welcome all and believe that the diversity amongst our student body plays an important part in what makes a digital media class both interesting and relevant.
