Design and Graphic Arts
Picture yourself in a career that lets you design your future!
The Fullerton College Graphic Design Program includes instruction in advertising design, design history, graphic design, packaging, production techniques, publication design and typography. Our curriculum aids and develops students’ skills, perceptions and problem-solving abilities.
Substantial attention is given to the development of computer, verbal, written and marketing skills so that students can perform in a professional setting. By preparing for multiple goals, students can leverage these courses to transfer to four-year institutions offering degrees in graphic design or visual communications.
The Fullerton College Art Computer Graphics Program (ACG) began as a specialized discipline in 1986. It has quickly expanded to include broadbased instruction in all applications of computers in the visual arts.
