Multimedia Information Design

This is an archived copy of the 2014-15 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit http://catalog.cincinnatistate.edu.

The Multimedia Information Design Department at Cincinnati State prepares students to design and produce media content in all formats. The final product might be distributed as an interactive CD or DVD, a component of a mobile device application, a website, a TV or radio commercial, a production for television or cinema, or as printed information. The target audience may be a few people or many, and the products may be created for educational, entertainment, or commercial use.

The programs in this department include:

  • Audio/Video Production
  • Graphic Design
  • Graphic Imaging Technology
  • Industrial Design Technology
  • Web and Multimedia Design

All students complete a core set of courses covering basic skills in design and production of media content. Subsequent courses introduce program-specific competencies, ranging from 3-D animation to music video production.

Most of the Multimedia Information Design labs are housed in the College’s Advanced Technology & Learning Center (ATLC). Students have access to a professional video studio and editing lab, a recording studio and digital mixing labs, usability testing labs, and a full complement of computer labs. Computer hardware and software is comparable to systems used in industry.

Audio/Video Production (AVP)

The Audio/Video Production program at Cincinnati State prepares students to create and manipulate digital audio, video, and graphic images. Career destinations for AVP graduates include broadcast and cable television and other entertainment industries; Web and multimedia development companies; and media production departments in commercial, corporate, and industrial settings.

A significant number of courses required for the degree are scheduled between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some of the required courses also are offered in the evening or on weekends.

Graduates earn an Associate of Applied Science degree. Job titles for graduates include: video editor, sound designer, videographer, audio/video specialist, compositing artist, motion graphics designer, or production assistant.

Graphic Design (GRD)

Students in the Graphic Design program begin their studies with emphasis on two-dimensional art and design, both traditional and computer-based, using industry-standard software products. After successful completion of a required portfolio review process, students focus on advanced skills such as brand design and implementation, and 3-D animation.

Currently many courses required for the degree are scheduled between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some of the required courses also are offered in the evening or on weekends.

Graduates earn an Associate of Applied Science degree. Job titles for graduates include: graphic designer, 3-D artist, production artist, or web graphics/interface designer.

Graphic Imaging Technology (GIT)

Students in Graphic Imaging Technology learn the process of creating art and publishing materials from idea generation to production. Students use Macintosh and PC hardware, software, and peripherals to produce art for the major printing processes, including offset lithography, packaging (flexography), screen printing and digital printing. Students gain hands-on experience producing printed materials using industry-standard equipment such as two-color offset presses; a four-color digital offset press (Heidelberg Quickmaster DI-Plus), four- and six-color screen printing presses, a four-color flexographic press, and various digital printers. In addition, students learn digital photography techniques using digital cameras and equipment and print workflow software. Business skill development includes managing, estimating, and marketing.

Industrial Design Technology (IDT)

An industrial design technician deals with the form and function of manufactured goods. Graduates of the Industrial Design Technology program are involved in creating new product shapes and styles or re-designing existing products to increase their usefulness through applications of rapid visualization, ergonomics, computer-generated images, modeling, and prototyping. The IDT program combines the analytical and technical computer skills developed in a mechanical engineering technology program with the visual and artistic skills of computer graphics.

Web and Multimedia Design (WEB)

The Web and Multimedia Design degree program prepares students to design and deliver interactive multimedia content for web, CD, DVD, and kiosk deployment. Students gain the knowledge and skills needed to create original digital art used to integrate text, images, animation, video, and other content into effective web and interactive multimedia products.

Currently a significant number of courses required for the degree are scheduled between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some of the required courses also are offered in the evening or on weekends.

Graduates of the program earn an Associate of Applied Science degree. Job titles for graduates may include: Web designer, Web applications developer, multimedia designer/animator, multimedia designer, multimedia developer, Web/multimedia projects manager, user interface designer, Web/multimedia graphics designer, eBusiness developer, or interactive multimedia designer.
