Programs of General Two-Dimensional Design can encompass many of the design fields described here – advertising design, graphic design, illustration, and visual communications design – and either offer students the opportunity to specialize in one of these areas or take a more survey approach. Like study in any design area, students’ design education is complemented and augmented with courses in communications theory, culture, and history.
