Media Design Technology, AAS

The media industry directs and influences the entire population in some way wherever a visual product is designed, produced, printed, or published online. New media trends are driving unprecedented change in communications and technology through websites, apps, and other user interface design. The variety of printed products is very broad: magazines, newspapers, packaging, books, environmental signage, advertising, and documentation are just a few examples. Graphic artists are expected to translate complicated concepts into easy-to-grasp visual representations. Employees in this field work closely with journalists, website developers/programmers, marketers, and sales representatives.
