Something I learned in a required general education class would have to have been my speech class.
This class , was designed to help the student be able to wrtie up a speech and communicate it effectively in front of a class or public speaking.
Graphic design is a creative field that allows you to express your ideas and “communicate” with the difference that graphic design communicates “visually.”
Yes, this is a bit different than standing in front of a group of strangers speaking out loud, but, is it?
Your creative field helps you communicate in front of strangers with the difference being that you are speaking with the design choices you have made, your typography choices, images, placements, etc.. You are showing your communication through your creativity.
Studying graphic design can help you develop strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, as well as explore your creativity.
