Overview
The Digital Arts & Design curriculum is specifically designed to pair art and technology to inspire and help you create groundbreaking designs for motion graphics. Throughout the curriculum, you will explore the entire design process—from concept to creation and from presentation to implementation. In these courses, you will learn the ins and outs of the current hardware and software used by professionals in the design world. As you master these concepts, you will be challenged to think about design in a new way—first understanding the intended audience for a project, then using that knowledge to direct the design of your message. You will apply this process across a wide spectrum of design projects, including 2-D and 3-D art, typography, video, and motion graphics. Learning the essential design and technology elements of this field is just one part of the Digital Arts & Design degree program. You will also have courses focusing on communication, physical science, and popular culture that will prepare you for your career in the motion-graphics industry.
