Design

What is Design?

Design is everywhere - it's what drew you to the last piece of furniture you bought, and it's what made online banking possible. It's made London taxi cabs easier to get in and out of, and it made Stella McCartney's name. It's driving whole business cultures and making sure environments from hospitals to airports are easier to navigate.

The single word "design" encompasses an awful lot. Design work is creative, fast-paced and in demand by most businesses. Sinclair College has three design areas of study within its department - Interior Design, Digital Media Design (Video Production or Web pathway) and Visual Communications (also known as Graphic Arts).

This area of study might be for you if:

• You enjoy communicating with, and listening to, others;
• Creativity flows through you;
• You're a master mutitasker; requiring adaptability & flexibility;
• You have attention to detail, integrity and dependability;
• You look at space and imagine ways to make it not only look good, but more efficient

Why major in Design?
