Graphic and Web Design (ATA Degree)

Graphic and web design is heavily focused on satisfying the needs and desires of the people who will use the product. Students study drawing, design, photography, video, audio, web design and graphic arts, all while building critical computer skills, which lead to the production of several comprehensive, interactive web site projects. Students learn how to work with clients and agencies and also develop a personal portfolio of their work by the end of the second year.

In the Graphic and Web Design program, students can earn an associates degree, a certificate or an endorsement. For additional program information and advising, please contact Chris Larson (chlarson@everettcc.edu) or Robert Lake (rlake@everettcc.edu)
