“Graphic design is complex combinations of words and pictures, numbers and charts, photographs and illustrations that, in order to succeed, demands the clear thinking of a particularly thoughtful individual who can orchestrate these elements so they all add up to something distinctive, or useful, or playful, or surprising, or subversive or somehow memorable.” —Jessica Helfand A minor in graphic design will supplement majors from business, marketing, advertising and public relations and other fields of transactional practices. The minor in Graphic Design provides the necessary skill set needed in visual communication and the tools to contribute and work with information/ marketing campaigns and creative professionals. A graphic design minor will have positional advantage and opportunities including strategic planning, involvement in the creative process and opportunities in interdisciplinary work courses in visual literacy will help the student develop exceptional skills and ability to verbalize creative ideas on a variety of platforms. Students with a minor in Graphic Design will: Demonstrate ability to create and develop visual form in response to communication problems, have an understanding of tools and technology, understand the creative process, explore visual literacy, develop professional habits and skills that are essential in graphic design and related professions, and acquire the written, verbal and formal vocabulary to communicate effectively.

Catalog Year 2012-2013
The graphic design program has two 24-station Macintosh computer labs equipped with scanners, color printers, and plotters. The lab software is updated every year and computers are replaced every three years. The graphic design faculty are working professionals as well as experienced design professors. Students meet one-on-one with their professors for advising and mentoring and for committee meetings. Students must apply for a minor in graphic design by providing eight samples of their art and/or design work and a one-page written rationale describing the student’s interest in a graphic design minor. The fulltime graphic design faculty will review the application for approval. The graphic design minor is only for students majoring in another discipline at Chapman University. Before enrolling in certain courses, students have to formally be accepted and declare the associated minor to complete required prerequisites and/or get faculty approval. A minimum of 24 credits, at least 9 of which must be upper-division, are required for a minor in graphic design. The graphic design minor is only for students majoring in another discipline.
