Possible Career Options
Visual communication designers create visual stories through physical and digital platforms. The application of their work can be used to inspire or to sell a product - either way they must captivate their audience.
I’ve loved art my entire life, and I started at UTRGV with a concentration in studio art rather than graphic design. What made me switch over was the way that the graphic design field incorporates art into technology and advertising, and I found this to be very intriguing and something I wanted to try out.
What I love the most about UTRGV is that it gave me some of my best friends as well as incredible bonds with professors that I will cherish forever.
