Bachelor of Design in Visual Communications
The Alberta University of the Arts Visual Communication program offers two streams of study that are grounded in industry-relevant drawing and visualization skills — 'Advertising + Graphic Design', and 'Character Design + Illustration'. My chosen stream of Advertising + Graphic Design made a significant impact on developing my ability to understand and engage audiences, research and form creative strategies and craft powerful, influential messages.
The following is a collection of student work from the Visual Communications program.
