CFCC to launch graphic design program

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – Registration is now open for Cape Fear Community College’s newest program.

Starting in the fall semester, the school will offer a 5-course graphic design certificate program. According to a release, the 216-hour program focuses on graphic design principles using Adobe Creative Cloud software and other web-based design applications.

The program, led by Associate Professor Marsha Mills, will train students in all areas of design including logo design, typography, print production, portfolio creation, and more. Mills has 30 years of experience in graphic design.

“My focus is to create a program that is inexpensive, informative, and practical,” said Mills. “My students will graduate with a strong working knowledge of graphic design principles, typography, layout, and information organization.”

CFCC Continuing Education Coordinator Mike Hoffer said each student will create an online portfolio and work with companies on graphic design projects.

The CFCC Graphic Design program will begin on August 20.
