      Associate of Arts Programs in Visual Design

      Four-year bachelor’s degrees are not an option for everyone, so some students get awarded the two-year associate’s degree. An Associate of Arts degree can offer similar benefits of a longer, more extensive program but in half the time. In some situations, this qualification can help you begin a successful career.

      What is an Associate of Arts in Visual Design? The look, feeling and design of a medium and its effectiveness communicating a message is what the field of visual design focuses on. In a visual design course schedule, students study elements that look within the Internet, the printed page and moving pictures. All design starts with learning about art, so learners in this field may get a heavy background in art study with classes related to art history, photography, sketching, color theory, painting and sculpture. Once a good basis of knowledge of art is attained, more specific topics related to the design aspect are featured, such as printing, typography, graphics and technology.

      Visual design is a growing industry as technology and the Internet has exploded in recent years. Understanding the concepts of visual design can give you a greater appreciation of the images you encounter in your daily life.

      Costs for a degree program may run from very low to incredibly high in price. An institution’s price is set in regards to many different factors such as location, funding and history.

      Visual design positions are plentiful in the rapidly expanding industries of advertising, media, film and the Internet. A popular career choice for visual design graduates is within the graphic design field. Graphic designers can choose their industry in such places as television, online, printing or the movies. Other than graphic design, students may decide to become an independent artist or freelancer in this industry. Another possibility is to work as an art teacher or design instructor. A book illustrator could be a career for an individual as well.
