As graphic design becomes more visible and prevalent in our lives, graphic design as a practice becomes more important in our culture. Through visual examples, this course will teach you the fundamental principles of graphic design: imagemaking, typography, composition, working with color and shape... foundational skills that are common in all areas of graphic design practice.
If you are a motivated and experienced graphic design professional with a passion for teaching and a love for the Spanish language, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity. To ensure full consideration, please submit your application by October 30, 2023, including:
