Course Description:

In Graphic Design B, you won’t just design—you’ll create. Take your artwork from the screen to real products like t-shirts, stickers, decals, canvas prints, and more. Whether you start with your own designs or remix existing graphics, you’ll learn how to make eye-catching work that people actually use. This class is hands-on, creative, and all about trying new things. You’ll collaborate with classmates, experiment with different styles, and take creative risks in a supportive studio environment.

  • Collaborate, take creative risks, and experiment with digital and print media to craft effective eye-catching designs.
  • Turn our custom artwork or ready-made graphics into real products like t-shirts, vinyl decals, canvas wraps and more.
  • Work in a modern, fully-equipped lab with tools, materials, and guidance you need to make your vision a reality.
  • Master industry-standard software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign--essential tools for today’s creative careers.
