Program Details

Graphic Design School: St. Lawrence College Faculty: Kingston campus Degree: Diploma Field of Study: Graphic Design Description: For over forty years, our acclaimed program has trained highly skilled, creative individuals for the growing profession of Graphic Design. This three-year advanced diploma program prepares graduates for direct entry into dynamic and rewarding work environments including design studios, ad agencies, interactive web and game design studios, publishing houses, marketing firms, and film & television production studios to name a few. Our program of study will develop the creative potential of each student in three specific ways: 1) The creation of a personal portfolio that demonstrates an understanding of design fundamentals using advanced software skills. 2) The process and application of design thinking to solve complex communication problems. 3) Direct, hands-on experience with professional clients representing a broad range of industries. We train our graduates in the core principles of layout, typography, colour and production workflow (both digital and print). These courses are complemented with software training that transforms novice users into digital workspace professionals. Our project-based learning approach ensures that students are directly involved in shaping their learning experiences: outcomes are clearly identified, and the student personally drives project content. With dedicated studio, lecture, and computer lab spaces, our students have the opportunity to collaborate on projects as well as develop social networks in a supportive learning environment.
