Northwest Technology Center’s Digital Design program prepares students for careers in electronic publishing, specialized design services, advertising, public relations or self-employment. Graphic designers create visual concepts using computer software that communicates ideas to inspire, inform or captivate customers. Students acquire fundamental skills in image creation and management procedures and techniques, as they create, revise, optimize and export graphics for video, print and web publishing.
Students learn digital photography and understand copyright basics to apply to a digital portfolio. They also develop electronic marketing strategies to promote their work. The Digital Design course is unlike a traditional classroom setting because assignments are available online and through self-paced video training. Students have the opportunity to display their work by creating an online portfolio and/or submit their work electronically to their instructor.
