SHOW NOTES
Students often enter the study of graphic design with a narrow view of what a career in graphic design could be – in this episode we unpack how a graphic design degree actually acts as a keyhole to a broad landscape of possibilities. A degree in graphic design can act as a springboard to jobs in physical, digital, environmental, topical, (human) social impact, industrial, typography, spatial, experiential, leadership, education, and entrepreneur areas.
