Digital Design

  • Minor

Add visual communication skills to your major.

Complement your primary field of study with creative and technical skills you can apply to presentations, websites, promotional materials, and digital content.

The Digital Design minor introduces design fundamentals, vector graphics, typography, graphics development, marketing, and web development. Through practical projects using Adobe Creative Suite software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and more, you’ll learn to organize information, combine text and imagery, and create purposeful visual communication.

You’ll also explore how AI tools can support brainstorming and creative experimentation while applying your own judgment to the quality, originality, and suitability of the results.

Elective options offer opportunities to explore photography, advertising, or digital audio and video. Whether your interests are in communication, business, technology, or another field, the minor helps you understand your audience and bring ideas to life.
