TWO GREAT CLASSES YOU SHOULD TAKE NOW!



Hey there GCOM students... Welcome Back to SCC!! We're planning for a great semester and we can't wait to see all you students in class and get some creativity going. 

There is still room in two of the MOST IMPORTANT CLASSES GCOM HAS TO OFFER—our 490 Graphic Communication Studio class and our 319 Newspaper Design class. What makes these so important you may ask. Well, they offer something our other great class don't—REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE WITH REAL DESIGN WORK. Both classes are more like internships. 

In 490, you work on real projects for real clients that really get printed and used. You work on team projects and go through a the actual design process of a working design studio.
In 319, you work with journalism and photography  students to create, design and produce the student newspaper, The Express, every two weeks. Even if you aren't into newspapers, the experience and specialized training you get is invaluable and unmatched. 

Both of these classes offer you the best opportunity to create excellent portfolio pieces and they look great on your resume when you start looking for a job. 

Both classes also have scheduled lab sections and meet twice a week. For more information, check out this FLYER with class days and times, and instructor contact info. If you want to join, just come to the next class and you can get added!
