OUR GOAL IS TO SHAPE STUDENTS INTO GOOD DESIGNERS AND STRONG LEADERS.
The Visual Communication Design Program at Seattle Pacific University is unique in its aim to create both producers and leaders in the field of design. We have worked hard to develop a curriculum that's foundation embraces the spirit of a liberal arts education while crafting experts in the discipline of visual communication. Some of the areas of expertise covered in our curriculum include studies in typography, visual methods, concept development, brand systems, information design, new media and exhibition design.
When students graduate from this program they will have been exposed to critical discourse in the design industry to include form building, critical theories and a variety of media executions. Our graduates are articulately versed in historical, and theoretical applications associated to the profession of visual communications enabling them to take on appropriate professional roles in the design industry.
We are excited to see that graduates from this program are well informed in industry standards in good order to contribute to the future discourse of the design industry. We have confidence in their ability to exhibit leadership skills of value and respect.

A NEW FOLD
As we finish up our final undergraduate projects, we — the SPU Visual Communications class of 2013 — find ourselves smoothing the creases of A New Fold. Those of us who chose to appeal to our design capabilities have persevered through the past four years. We have all started with our own pieces of paper (our own tabula rasas, so to speak). The bright orange in the color palette is meant to elicit the ready and resolute nature we have found ourselves committed to in our work, learned through the guidance of our group as we learn together, the input of our peers, and the instruction of our advisors, without whom we would have often ended up off-course. We would love to share the culmination of our past four years with you as we gear up for new models and challenges and get ready to welcome a new beginning.
