The Cuyamaca College Graphic Design Program has three well-equipped Mac computer labs and a Makerspace workroom. Our Work Experience Class (GD230) will help you build your portfolio and connect you with industry professionals. Our UX/UI certification classes prepare you for entry into this high-demand career profession.
The Digital Illustration classes utilize Wacom tablets that allow for a more natural and creative drawing expression. Our Makerspace is a hands-on assembly of your finished work. You can print your work on large format ink-jets, laser and stencil printers, all while learning about the standards and preparation of digital media. Our facility is one of the best and most modern in San Diego and Imperial Counties.
Our program helps students earn meaningful design credentials—certificates, certifications, and degrees—that demonstrate relevant real-world skills and prepare you for exciting careers in the design industry.
