Ferris Graphic Design Program Communications

"Today’s graphic designer is expected to thrive under a wide umbrella of skillsets from print to experience design to motion graphics, illustration, photography, and more. The FSU Design Program is incredibly robust—offering an extensive range of courses that make thriving in all of these areas possible. Apart from this, much of my career trajectory can be attributed to the Design Program’s placement within the College of Business. I was able to build business acumen through marketing and management courses, as well as a real client experience senior year. It’s the skillset that gets you in the door but the well-nurtured business relationships that propel you forward."

Kathryn Shimmin, Sr. Graphic Designer, Advanced Design & Ideation, Newell Brands, New York, NY

how our program works

Throughout our program students are taught to use a 5 phase process. This guides the students to explore multiple ideas to find the best solution. The process includes multiple steps within each phase, however on a project to project basis, things can adjust, because we know in life not every project is the same.
