Graphic artists use their skills to inform, entertain and persuade. Their work takes many forms – from graphic novels and website animations to logos and printed posters.

Staff DirectoryDigital Artistry in Demand
Given that almost every kind of media – from books to cartoons – takes shape on computer
screens, demand is high for artists trained in the latest digital techniques. Web
sites, apps, and software require artwork and advertising. Further studies in graphic
design and user interface/user experience design can build skills, while front-end
digital developers combine coding with artistic know-how.

From Sketching to University and a Career
"I’m deaf and have an ability as an artist; I grew up sketching on paper. I was motivated
at MPC to select art classes that would help me find a match for my career. The classes
I took prepared me to transfer to university for advanced study."
