Visual communications has fallen under many different names over the years, including commercial art, graphic design, advertising design, publication design, graphic arts, and multimedia. The TMCC Graphic Communications (GRC) Program offers classes that lead to an associate degree or a certificate of achievement. Instruction includes the use of industry standard graphics software, and GRC computer labs are equipped with the latest Apple Mac Pro and iMac Intel-based computers with support scanners, black and white and color printers, a sound booth for creating and capturing audio, and a complete prepress/print shop facility.
The GRC program teaches the theories and applications necessary to get a job in this exciting field.
The bottom line is, if you want to learn how to create, produce and reproduce visual graphics that communicate to an audience, then graphic communications is for you.
