平面设计

概述

The information on this page is provided to help you with your application to the AAS 平面设计 program. This includes eligibility requirements, portfolio guidelines, portfolio tips, deadlines, and an outline of the review process. The buttons at the end of the 资格 and 评审过程 sections are both linked to the first page of the AAS 平面设计 application system where you can verify your eligibility at any time during the year and, during specific application periods, get started with your application. The dates of these application periods are noted in the Application Periods and Deadlines section.

接入应用系统

If you encounter an error message that says “Internal System Error” or have any issues accessing the application system, it’s probably not a problem with the system itself but with UVU Single Sign-On (SSO). To resolve this issue, please try one or more of the following proven workarounds:

• 清除浏览器的缓存。
• 使用私密/隐身浏览窗口。
• 使用不同的浏览器。
• 使用不同的设备。

资格

To be eligible to apply to the AAS 平面设计 program, you must have completed the following four required courses with a grade of C- or better:

• ART 1120二维设计
• ART 1400图形计算机应用
• ART 1410版式
• ART 1420平面设计

You may verify your eligibility at any time during the year by reviewing the course, grade, and application attempt information on the first page of the AAS 平面设计 application system. The information on that page is linked directly to your UVU academic records. If you believe there are any discrepancies with the course or grade information, please contact the 注册处.

Please note that the AAS 平面设计 Portfolio Review Committee is not privy to any of your grades during the review process and that good grades you may have earned in any of the required courses do not guarantee acceptance to the AAS 平面设计 program.

投资指南

Your portfolio MUST include all six of the following standardized assignments completed in ART 1410版式 and ART 1420平面设计:

• 实验排版
• 富有表现力的排版
• 页面布局设计
• 象形图系列
• 封面设计
• 个人海报

转学生可以包括在原学校完成的其他课程。

不要包括个人、专业或实习项目。 Exclusion of any of the six standardized assignments or inclusion of personal, professional, or internship work in your portfolio may result in a score reduction.

You may optionally choose to include work you deem as exceptional from other ART classes you’ve taken such as drawing, photography, and sculpture. If you decide to do so, please place those projects at the end of your portfolio.

投资组合建议

对于你的每个项目：

• Write a short description, approximately 1–3 sentences long, that explains the underlying concept.
• Consider using digital mockups to enhance the presentation of your work instead of submitting flat artwork exported directly from your layout files. This is not a requirement and may not apply to some of your projects, but it is recommended for most projects.
• 考虑上传多张图片，每个项目最多上传8张图片。 This could include different views or close-ups of the project or different parts of the project such as a record sleeve and a vinyl disc label.
• There is no need for you to include any process work, such as sketches and comps, for any of your projects.
• Make sure the resolution of your images is sufficiently high to allow your work to appear clearly on screen.
• 可接受的文件格式包括。jpeg、。jpg、。png和。gif。

If you are accepted to the AAS program, registration blocks will be removed so you can register for AAS-level courses.

If you are not accepted to the AAS program, you may reapply once during a future spring or fall application period. 学生s are limited to applying to the AAS 平面设计 program a total of two times.

If you decide to reapply, we encourage you to make improvements to your portfolio within the framework of the original class assignments. If you decide not to reapply, we encourage you to meet with your academic advisor to discuss alternative degree options.
