The Multimedia, Photography & Design (MPD) department at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications embraces emerging and traditional forms of visual storytelling. Its design program emphasizes strategy, problem solving and human-centered design to create smart, compelling, innovative solutions in print and pixels, including motion, UI/UX, augmented reality, virtual reality, brand identity, product packaging, typography and publication design. MPD values cross-media partnerships, workshops and collaboration, which expose students to a variety of people and environments while diversifying their skills, exploring new tools and becoming the designers they are meant to be. MPD encourages its students to let their passions drive their focus and academic path, and it is proud to support and foster the individuality of its students and their unique voices and vision. Graduates of the design program have gone on to work at places such as IDEO, National Geographic Magazine, IBM, Viacom, Icon Worldwide, Code and Theory as well as their own businesses.
