Open Studio Day | Saturday November 3, 2018

Are you interested in a career as a graphic designer, art director, illustrator, concept artist, or interactive designer?

The Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication is a 4-year degree with exciting career outcomes. You can specialize in branding, illustration, or interactive design beginning in third year, and work outside school in a two-month industry practicum in fourth year. Our culture is collaborative, our instructors are dedicated, and our students grow into creative professionals.

We invite you to come and check out our program and find out what makes us different from other schools in the Lower Mainland. We also recommend you talk to professionals already working in the industry, and ask many questions before choosing where to spend the next 4 years of your life!

On Saturday, we’ll begin with a Keynote presentation providing an visual overview of the program, followed by studio tours, portfolio reviews and a drawing session.
