Visual Comunications

In the DASH Visual Communications program, students produce movie posters, logos, fashion labels, packaging, signage, books, and web sites. They incorporate inspiration from their fine art work in their graphics work. They study typeface, analyze composition, and use industry standard software tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Taught by DASH graduate Malkia Saint-Albin, DASH Visual Communications students develop multi-stage projects such as board games and festival posters that involve conceptualizing, packaging, branding, and marketing in the form of billboards and web launches. They must also adhere to strict deadlines and learn to produce quality work under pressure in the competitive world of graphic design.
