Welcome
As a communications link between supplier and consumer, the graphic designer conceives and executes concepts to inform, motivate, educate or sell.
At the core of graphic design at SCAD is conceptual thinking. Students are encouraged to view differently, shift focus, look from multiple perspectives, and to understand how perception influences meaning. At SCAD, graphic design is about more than problem-solving, as students explore the creative challenge of determining what the problems are, and what opportunities exist to explore new solutions.
