Web Design
Web design classes are at the core of the Web Design & Interactive Media program at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Web sites are necessities for most businesses today and Web design classes teach students how to meet that demand. In Web design classes, students are taught to combine design and technology to create a site that is dynamic, appealing, interactive, and user friendly. This is a constantly evolving industry and the Web design classes utilize industry-related technology and software. Web design classes are taught by professional faculty members, some with industry experience. Web design classes focus on layout, typography, navigation, scripting, streaming video, interactive graphics, and more. In addition to Web design classes, students take business and marketing courses. Before they graduate, students compile a portfolio showcasing the work they did in their Web design classes to show potential employers. Upon successfully completing this program, and its required Web design classes, students are prepared to seek entry-level jobs like interactive designer, animator, and computer artist.
