Introduction
The digital revolution has opened up communication design to new disciplines that require students to excel not only in traditional design skills but in design research methodology, human-centered concept development, and system design processes.
Communication designers give form to information in advertising, publishing and editorial design, corporate and exhibition design, websites, multimedia, environmental graphics, signs and maps, service design, interaction design, film, and video. In all these fields, the need to clearly and succinctly inform, entertain, and persuade remains a critical concern.
Located in an internationally renowned mecca for artists and designers, PCA offers Communication Design majors a unique opportunity to broaden their cultural and creative perspectives. Not only is the metropolitan landscape an ideal setting to experience graphic design in action, but the city’s vibrant community of design professionals is a rich resource for students as they develop their own visual language.
