锡拉丘兹大学暑期学院的图形设计课程面向有兴趣在大学水平上学习更多有关设计和沟通的高中学生。这个为期两周的动手实践课程将通过练习来介绍核心设计基础知识，这些练习将鼓励概念思考和视觉解决问题的技能。分配的项目将向学生介绍视觉组织和结构，形式的简化，图形翻译，图形解释，创意写作和艺术指导。通过基于项目的学习，学生将从事设计问题解决和过程，构想开发以及最终“交付成果”的执行。他们还将有机会对专业设计师开放的一些重点领域进行了解和讨论。
The Graphic Design program at Syracuse University Summer College is for high school students who are interested in learning more about design and communication on a college level. This two-week, hands-on, experiential course introduces core design fundamentals with exercises that will encourage conceptual thinking and visual problem-solving skills. Assigned projects will introduce students to visual organization and structure, simplification of form, graphic translation, graphic interpretation, creative writing, and art direction. Through project-based learning, students will engage in design problem-solving and processes, idea development, and the execution of final ‘deliverables'. They will also have the opportunity to learn about and discuss some of the areas of focus that are open to a professional designer.
