Overview

Today’s successful companies depend on strong visual representation to stay a step ahead of the competition, utilizing multiple forms of media – print, web, television – to deliver their brand or message to the public. Creative professionals who are able to understand “the big picture” and meet the demands of both the boardroom and the design studio have never been in such high demand, as businesses seek ways to maximize the impact that a single picture or just a few well-place words can have on an audience.

Full Sail University’s Media Design Master of Fine Arts online degree program explores the strategic planning behind design. By diving into the strategic solutions needed for the complex challenges that companies encounter throughout the creative process, you’ll be able to channel your artistic skills into a vision that’s both creatively fulfilling and professionally demanding.

Along with studying design theory concepts such as brand development, design ethics, and design strategies and motivation, a significant part of your studies will find you engaged in the actual production workflow of the design industry. You’ll be involved in the creation of a variety of deliverables for many different platforms and media, all the while becoming equipped with the branding and strategy tools needed to handle the types of key projects that professionals encounter within the industry.

It all culminates with your Design Solution, a Thesis/Final Project comprised of all you’ve learned throughout the program that addresses a complex media design challenge – and your proposed solution. The assets that you create for this project will also serve as your working template that you can use to pitch ideas and concepts to future employers throughout the course of your career as a creative professional.
