Digital Media Design

Albany Campus

Digital Media Design prepares students for creative careers in web
design, multimedia communications, graphic design and other related
areas. During the two-year program, students develop professional
level skills in Adobe software applications. They learn to apply design
processes and design theory to improve the quality and consistency
of their work.

In addition to digital output, the classroom lab provides specialty
printing experiences including wide format poster and banner
printing, dye sublimation printing on metal, ceramics and textiles as
well as t-shirt transfer printing.

Students demonstrate their technical abilities through the Adobe
Certified Expert Program. In a two-year period, it is possible for
students to earn up to five industry recognized certifications. This
combined with work samples provides students with the opportunity
to graduate with an impressive portfolio.

For real-world experience, students participate in a variety of workbased
learning activities designed to provide professional level
practice including exposure to the expectations they will encounter in
their future employment.

Students completing the program are prepared for rigorous college
and post-secondary programs and/or are qualified for entry-level jobs
within the visual communications field.
