Environmental Graphic Design this Summer!

MESSAGE FROM AMY AND MAELIN LEVINE

We are teaching a course over the summer that we believe will help you differentiate your portfolio over all others! No other design programs in San Diego offer course work in EGD. Having EGD projects in your portfolio opens up many more employment opportunities for students. We will introduce you to the basics of designing for the built environment including field trips to fabrication companies, expert guest lecturers and a comprehensive, portfolio ready signage package project.
Sign-up early, it will fill quickly and we want our best students included.

What is Environmental Graphic Design?
Environmental Graphic Design embraces many design disciplines including graphic, architectural, interior, landscape, and industrial design, all concerned with the visual aspects of wayfinding, communicating identity and information, and shaping the idea of place.


Some common examples of work by EGD practitioners include wayfinding systems, architectural graphics, signage, exhibit design, identity graphics, dynamic environments, civic design, pictogram design, retail and store design, mapping, and themed environments.
