Advertising & Design

The Advertising & Design CTE Program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and, ultimately, a portfolio needed for employment as a designer. This career path utilizes the Adobe Suite with a focus in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign combined with the student’s own enthusiasm and design to create visually appealing projects. This program also teaches the basics of drawing, photography/cameras, and website accessibility. Offering a designer-client feel is paramount to success and providing real-life office exposure to students allows this to happen.
