Graphic Communications Program Overview

  • Request work from Diman's Graphic Communications Program

    The Graphic Communications Program is crafted to bring students through the process of design creation, from concept to final production. Students are provided with the skills to develop visual designs using the latest software and to produce those designs on industry-standard technology.

    We provide students the opportunity to work in nine different areas in the graphic communications field, as well as the opportunity to create their own conceptual designs using the Adobe Creative Suite. We also give students the opportunity to utilize digital camera equipment and edit their own photographs in Adobe Photoshop for use in their projects.

    In our traditional offset department, students are able to learn how to operate printing presses from a single color duplicator to a four-color press. Students also have the ability to operate digital presses in a quick-print area.

    In our apparel section, students can produce embroidered clothing, as well as both digital and manual screen printing. They will also lean the process of thermal printing for both apparel and sign processes.

    Within our overall program, we provide all aspects of the graphic communications industry through our experiential curriculum. Seniors will have the ability to develop a professional portfolio that will give them an advantage in the graphic communications field upon graduation.

    The Graphic Communications Program reinforces English, math and science, while challenging students' problem-solving abilities.
