What Are People Saying?

"I actually started working as an assistant art director 6 months into the DAC program for a local business publication, and have continued in the field of graphic design and production art since then. When I got that job, I considered it a luck-of-the-draw sort of thing, but I soon realized that what I was learning in class prepared me quite well and quite early for what I encountered working in the field."

Nikki Ellis
