GRAPHIC DESIGN
Everything is designed. Graphic design embraces traditional and new media technologies in the pursuit of crystal clear information and communication
management. CVA graphic design students express their conceptual talents within a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes typography, information architecture,
and cutting edge interactivity.
It's not easy. High standards are emphasized and expected. They reflect the highly competitive quality demanded by the most recognized and respected
design firms both in the region and across the country.
CVA's graphic design curriculum and faculty are closely aligned with the nation's premier graphic design professional organizations,
including the American Institute of Graphic Arts (www.aiga.org). CVA graphic design students have consistently
gleaned top honors in AIGA
competitions that include participants from graphic design programs across the five-state region and Canada. And, among the CVA faculty, are
several national AIGA board members, Minnesota chapter board presidents, and award-winning designers working for or running the most esteemed
design firms in the country.
 This vision of excellence, combined with the networking made possible through solid connections within a thriving industry, results in almost
100 percent of CVA graphic design students finding gainful and fulfilling employment in the field.
