The Visual Communication Design program emphasizes appropriate strategic communication through a design process that includes research, analysis, conceptualization planning, and realization. This process leads to innovative visual communication solutions for contemporary design problems that are local to global in scope. Students integrate theory and method, culture and context, environmental and human factors, traditional and contemporary technologies, and visual aesthetics to develop comprehensive design strategies. These strategies are applied to physical artifacts (books, brochures, packaging), digital media (websites, CD-ROMs, video games, animation/film, kiosks, interface), and environments (exhibits, sign systems). The objective is to provide communication design strategies that inform, educate, direct, and communicate effectively. Visual Communication Design students have the opportunity to collaborate with Industrial Design students and participate in a program—InnovationSpace—that focuses on integrated innovation and is a transdisciplinary enterprise with partners in the schools of business and engineering at ASU. The Visual Communication Design program is actively involved with the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), playing a critical role in the development and facilitation of national and regional initiatives.
