Graphic Communications

A major and a minor are offered in Graphic Communications.

 Professor Tullio with a student
Most graphic design students join the Graphic Design Club at some point during their studies. The Graphic Design Club works closely with the Graphic Communication Department in designing advertisements for various clubs and departments on campus. Examples include logos, posters, letterheads, web pages, table tent cards, banners, t-shirts, novelties, brochures, pamphlets, and more. The Club also goes on many field trips including the North East Print Expo usually held in Boston or Worcester, Mass. as well as the Seybold Convention in Boston or New York.
Graphic designers, like fine artists, use visual media to convey a message. Graphic artists, however, often work in the commercial sector, creating art for businesses and corporations such as product packaging, logo design, and print advertising. The major in Graphic Communications combines a liberal arts education with specialized preparation for a career in the field. Equal emphasis is placed on Fine Arts, Graphic Design and Production.
