Graphic design is a creative process that utilizes art and technology to communicate ideas. The graphic designer creates and manages the production of images designed to inform and persuade a specific audience.

Starting with the 2007 - 2008 school year, all of the computer graphic design classes are now dual enrolled with Virginia Western Community College. Students taking classes may receive college credit at VWCC and the credit may be transfered to other colleges and universities. The credit is given as ART 180 in the VWCC catalog. At the finish of the 2008 school year, 24 students finished their dual enrollment work. Starting the 2008 - 2009 year, we now have 27 dual enrolled for first semester. This is a great start and it shows the interest in our graphics program.
