It is designed to meet the current needs for design in a time-based and screen-filled world. From cellphones to video billboards, new venues are demanding movement and interaction. This program is built to take advantage of new and ever-changing technologies and remain at the leading edge of design. Currently, designers are asked to be able to design for print and screen.
