A Career in design

wide range of design fields

Stand out in the creative economy with added skills.

As a student of LCAD’s Illustration emphasis, you will further develop your fine arts and illustration skills while being fully immersed in our GD+DM program. Unlike an Illustration major, you will be highly technically advanced with solid skills across the range of industry required design skills. You will learn to take your talents into motion graphic work, 3D, package design, user experience and interfaces, advertising, social media, photography and video, and emerging virtual reality applications. In project based learning classes you will apply your artistic talents and illustration skills to create design solutions while developing a strong cross discipline and successful portfolio of work that will position you to work in a wide range of design fields.
