DTP & Graphic Design

Description

Graphic design is an evolving field that continues to grow. Increased demand from advertising and computer design firms will contribute to this growth. As print media gives way to interactive sources, it’s expected that more and more graphic designers will be required for online marketing campaigns. Graphic designers use color, typography, photography, artwork, layout and occasionally animation to convey a client’s message to its target audience.
