Graphic Design

The Graphic Design program at Syracuse University Summer College is for high school students who are interested in learning more about design and communication on a college level. This two-week, hands-on, experiential course introduces core design fundamentals with exercises that will encourage conceptual thinking and visual problem-solving skills. Assigned projects will introduce students to visual organization and structure, simplification of form, graphic translation, graphic interpretation, creative writing, and art direction. Through project-based learning, students will engage in design problem-solving and processes, idea development, and the execution of final ‘deliverables’. They will also have the opportunity to learn about and discuss some of the areas of focus that are open to a professional designer.
