Initially established in 2011 under the name Department of Visual Communication Design within the Faculty of Fine Arts at Balıkesir University, the department adopted its current name, Department of Graphic Arts, and welcomed its first students in 2020.The curriculum is designed to cultivate students who can adapt to the demands of the information age. Practical training in industry-standard software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Animate, and 3D Max is supported by experimental projects that encourage students to discover their own unique visual language.Graduates of the department are expected to contribute not only with their knowledge and creativity but also with their vision to the institutions in which they work. The program aims to educate generations who will lead the artistic and cultural development of Balıkesir and its surrounding regions and take active roles in creating a more livable world by developing solutions to social and environmental challenges.Our goal is to train designers who combine communication and information technologies with art and design, who can generate analytical and creative solutions to design problems, who have a strong sense of responsibility toward society, the environment, and their profession, who can work harmoniously in interdisciplinary teams, and who can produce sustainable and interactive designs in the sector.
