What’s the difference between an industrial design major and a graphic design major?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

When taking the PSATs in 10th grade, I checked that I was interested in getting a graphic design major. I have been receiving mail from some colleges saying they have majors in graphic design and others with majors in industrial design. I was wondering if there is any difference between the two? If so, what classes can I expect to be required to take and what can I expect to learn?

With industrial design your going to be leaning heavier onto learning CAD, engineering related studies and architectural layouts and blueprints and graphics design would be closer to more art classes, marketing. Classes. Both will cross a bit in what classes you will take. Its just whether you want to learn to design buildings and engineering or design logos, websites, fashion or whatever.

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

I want to major in Graphic Design, does graphic design include web design or is web developement deifferent from that? I want to go to college in Florida please help me.

Graphic design does most of the graphic aspects of commercial work. For example, a graphic designer will create a logo, do a lay out, design a box for a product, and so on. Some graphic designers know a little bit about web design (HTML, CSS and Flash) but they will not be able to create a really complex website.

Do you need a BS Degree in Graphic Design in order to attend Grad School for Graphic Design?

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I’m a senior majoring in Business Adminstration and a concentration in Marketing. I’m planning on pursuing a Master’s Degree in Graphic Design. I never took any classes pertaining to Graphic Design. I would like to know if I have to have a degree in Graphic Design in order to attend Grad School for Graphic Design.

Usually when you attend a graduate school that is for a field such as graphic design they will ask you for a portfolio of previous work so they can see if you are good enough to contribute positively to the program. Oftentimes people will get a bachelors in a related field as this requires them to create a fair number of projects to include in a work portfolio that not only showcases their current skill level but also illustrates their ability to learn and adapt their work according to those lessons. Really, it’s up to the particular program that you’re looking at joining. If you DO have a portfolio of previous works then you’re probably set but if you don’t it may be very difficult/impossible for you to join. I’d say talk to an advisor or read their site and application thoroughly to get a better answer than anyone on here will be able to give you.
