What Is Design, Really?

Design is everywhere — from the spaces you hang out in, to the websites you scroll, to the visuals that grab your attention. It’s creative, fast-paced, and always evolving.

At Sinclair College, you can dive into design through three exciting areas:

• Visual Communications (Graphic Design/Arts)
• Digital Media Design (Video Production or Web Design)
• Interior Design

Is Design Your Thing?

You might be a future designer if:

• You love expressing ideas and listening to others.
• Creativity just clicks for you.
• You thrive when juggling lots of projects at once.
• You notice the little details others miss.
• You see a space and instantly imagine how to make it both stunning and functional.
