I learned the whole graphic arts field... including offset and screen printing. We used computer
programs such as InDesign and PhotoShop. I was able to produce all of my own projects: memo pads, business cards and even t-shirts.
I worked really hard my first year and earned "Outstanding Student of the Year". This helped me qualify for a co-op job within this program for my second year.
