Multimedia design is a field of study emerging from the synthesis of the different mediums of communication. Thomas More’s program focuses on providing a foundation for shaping information via graphics, interactive design, motion graphics, and animation to the world. Students will develop aesthetic and technical competence by receiving training in state-of-the-art software, production processes, theory, and concepts.​

​Thomas More believes that students should have the opportunity to explore technology, to explore new mediums, and to drive positive and meaningful experiences both in the digital and analog world. The realization of this vision is done through course work based on real-world problems; pushing students to see many solutions to a single problem, encouraging collaboration, and advocating action because trying, testing, revising, and exploring create growth and expertise.

Students will be learning the rules and guiding factors to two-dimensional design and graphic design. Students will also learn typography, user experience design, social media design, animation, motion graphics, and web design. All the tools used for an effective career in multimedia, no matter the industry.

This is a one track program meant to accent any major at the college.

Most classes will be taught by Betty Bone, a professional graphic designer with over 10 years’ experience in package design and corporate identity. Her specialties are branding, editorial design, package design, typography, and motion graphics.

You will also be taught by Kate Rowekamp and Elizabeth Neal. Kate specializes in animation and printmaking while Elizabeth specializes in 2D design, illustration, drawing, and painting

This program is new and the first class is currently taking courses.

Students who minor in multimedia design might find employment as a:

  • graphic designer
  • motion graphics artist
  • animator
  • social media designer
  • web designer/developer
  • video editor

​While the program itself doesn’t require an experiential learning component, our professors often bring in real-world clients for projects. This gives student real-world experience under the guidance of their professors. Internships are recommended and professors will help those interested in internships.
