Digital Design, Desktop Publishing (DTP), and Internet Technologies
Digital Design Master Certificate

The ever-popular Digital Design program combines two separate courses: Graphic Design and Web Design. The graduates' extensive knowledge allows them to succeed in two broad fields of computer design, doubling their chances of quick, successful employment.

To prepare materials for print or the Internet with the help of a computer, a designer must posses numerous professional secrets and know how to avoid the pitfalls of this complex art. Every time he places an image, selects a color, writes a text, or draws with a computer, he must consider two issues:

1. Does the design look professional?
2. How will it look on paper or on the Internet?

In other words, he must combine the knowledge and creativity of a good designer with the expertise of a DTP specialist or Web Developer.
