Graphic design is a multifaceted, rapidly developing, and competitive field that requires designers to understand trends in technology and culture while developing their craft. Joseph Bastardo, a contemporary designer, illustrator, and musician, balances technology, creativity, and a passion for electronic sounds through his innovative designs. Much of his work springs from music—he has designed posters, fliers, logos, t-shirts, and album covers for musicians, record labels, and collaborators from around the world.
Art teachers support their students in recognizing and understanding the part that design plays in their everyday lives. Students express emotions through physical drawings of robots with digital symbolism, create visually impactful infographics inspired by real or imagined travels, develop real-world skills by collaborating with clients on design-related projects, and more.
