The Department in Accademia Riaci provides Graphic design and Web design concentration. Graphic design means specifically the transformation of media, which affects how we create messages, how we transmit them, and understanding the changing landscape of design where media and culture intersect. Throughout the two years of major concentration, problems are combined with exploratory and experimental studies in drawing, color, photography, typography, and emerging technologies. Opportunities for additional study in fine arts, illustration, photography, animation, and emerging technologies are available. Designers work across several media and venues-from handmade images to digital images, still images to time-based communications in cyberspace. The Web Design program provides students with the technical skills necessary to develop a compelling web site, including HTML, design, image maps, and dynamic web pages. Students learn to incorporate multimedia effects using animations, splash screens, sound, video, 3-D images, and streaming technology to enhance interactivity into various web-based applications. The curriculum is supplemented by special lecture programs; workshops with invited designers; and on-site studio seminars in selected design offices and studios, paper and printing plants, and with computer graphic producers. With successful completion of the program, students are prepared for entry-level positions as graphic designers or Web Designer with design studios, publishers, corporations, network, or advertising agencies.
