Graphic design is a field with many diverse opportunities.
A designer might work in advertising, publishing, web design,
multimedia, television or film, animation, and exhibition
design, or any number of other fields Consequently, the
graphic design curriculum at UAB is grounded in the foundations
of art and developed in a solid range of graphic design
and related courses. It provides students the opportunities
to learn concepts and skills necessary to create competitive
graphic design portfolios, improve presentation skills,
and gain knowledge of professional practices.
Although students can take graphic design courses as a B.A.
major, it is strongly encouraged that students who aspire
to a career in graphic design will graduate with a B.F.A.
degree
.
Internships in Graphic Design
An important component of the program is internship. This
course gives real world, on-the-job experience that helps
students transition into professional designers. UAB’s
location in the largest metropolitan center in Alabama gives
students opportunities for internship at many of the state‘s
largest design firms and advertising agencies as well as
in-house design at publishers, printers and other industries.
