Graphic Communications
University of Maryland
I gained an understanding of the principles and basic techniques in creating visual designs for events, brands, and advertising. I learned skills in composition, typography, layout, color theory, and context to produce high-quality design solutions across a variety of mediums. From user interfaces and motion graphics to mobile applications and web designs, I worked on how to plan, design, and execute graphic solutions that meet specific needs and achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, I developed the professional, analytical, collaborative, and technical skills necessary to thrive in a team-based environment and support collective goals. This helped me in defining and directing creative strategy in business settings, combining scope, messaging, and evaluation of success in digital campaigns.
