Graphic Communications CPU

Introduction

Students embroider a logo to learn the digitization software, then design their own.Graphic design skills span many fields ranging from the textile industry, advertising and marketing, and publishing. Applied Technologies offer three individual Graphic Communication CPUs, each with similar content, but resulting in different products. These choices allow students to print on fabric by heat transfer, output to an embroidery machine, or output to a vinyl sign cutter. The Graphic Communications CPUs are available in both 10 and 15-hour formats.
