Art Gallery Talk

Wednesday June 19 from 10–11am
with Paul Young, Professor of Graphic Design

Digital Media Design

As print media continues to decline, graphic designers are embracing digital media as the creative platform of choice for tomorrow. Similar to print, digital media designers must catch people's attention, communicate a message in a creative way, and do so with visual clarity and wit. Unlike print, today's graphic designer can also exploit interactivity, motion, and even sound to enhance the clients' message. Professor Paul Young will talk about the challenges and rewards of working in the world of digital media.
