England Multimedia

The advertising and design industry is changing very rapidly. Web-based graphic design is one of the fastest-growing areas in the field of visual communication. Today’s advertising and design studios rely heavily on computers for tasks that 10-15 years ago were done by hand (or, in the case of web design, not at all).

This program takes full advantage of specific locations within and around London to provide a comparative experience for those interested in a career in advertising and design. We will visit many historic sites that will be investigated on the site and location user experience.

Students enroll in the two courses for 6 credit hours.
