Audiovisual Technology, Digital Media and Design, and Graphic Arts

County vocational-technical school programs in audiovisual technology, digital media and design, and graphic arts give students hands-on experience using state-of-the-art technology.

Digital media and design is a blend of technology and content, and building digital media products requires teams of professionals with diverse skills, including technical, artistic, analytical, and production coordination. As communication increasingly shifts from print to online media, digital design is increasingly valued across all industries.

Graphic arts involves using both graphics and text to convey a concept or idea. Graphic designers are involved in corporate identity/branding, advertising, print production, and web design. As the communications industry becomes more integrated, the workforce of the future has diverse skills and collaborates digitally to see projects from start to finish.

Audiovisual technicians will continue working not only with their creative counterparts, but across every other industry, to create effective digital workspaces. The most economical way to rapidly transform a room into a dynamic and collaborative space is to bring audiovisual technology into it.
