    Instructor - Mr. Chuck Poe

    What a fun career! Students will learn to produce their own T-shirts, design car decals, magnets, business cards, banners, stationery, posters, graduation announcements, CD covers or even print on cookies! The printing and design industry is a fast-paced, high-technology field. There's never a dull moment!

    Students who attend college to earn a degree in the graphics industry have the opportunity for management positions or use their LCTC graphics background as a career while pursuing a degree in other areas of interest. Think about it, every town or city has at least one printer!

    First year course work will include beginning through advanced computer design skills, image reproduction, finishing operations, screen printing techniques, digital photo manipulation, and vinyl application. A printer's apron is required for first year students and is the student's responsibility.

    The second year student will concentrate on shop management, designing and printing actual jobs, and organizing production projects. Deadline production, customer service techniques, and management skills will be emphasized. This class also includes the opportunity to pursue embedded communication arts credit.
