Overview

Graphic design is the process of visual communication, and problem solving through the interaction of conceptual thinking, typography, images, space, and color in order to convey information to an audience. It was created to inform, identify, and promote an idea, product, or social awareness. The award-winning students at Fort Hays State University who graduate from the Graphic Design program are able to obtain careers in the industry in the areas of graphic design, advertising, and motion graphics.

Careers

Graduates acquire jobs at prestigious design firms and advertising agencies all over the country such as the Leo Burnett Company (Chicago), Yahoo (California), Joe Duffy and Partners (Minneapolis), and CMT (Nashville) just to name a few. Several of our students have gone on to open their own design studios as well such as Justin McClure Creative and Burley Studios, both based in Wichita and Awe-Full Design in Kansas City.

Graduate students of the program teach in outstanding universities throughout the nation and abroad such as the University of Wyoming, University of Nebraska, Buffalo State University, Wichita State University, and Zayed University in Dubai of the United Arab Emirates.
