Focus on one skill at a time and work one-on-one with faculty to build your portfolio.
Create, alter, and produce artful and informative presentations
By enrolling in the Desktop Publishing program at JCCC you will enter the workforce with marketable, high-demand skills. Learn on both Mac and Windows platforms to:
- Generate page layouts
- Edit photos
- Generate illustrations
Employers seek competent, creative employees to produce intriguing digital images, stunning vector illustrations, and eye-catching layouts. You will create illustrations, posters, brochures, exhibit panels, stationery, signage, and other corporate branding materials.
Practice, focus and implement
Classes are taught in three sequences that meet once a week for only five weeks, so you focus on one skill set at a time and practice in well-equipped dual-platform computer labs.
Work one-on-one with your professors in small classes to build projects for a portfolio you can show to potential employers. Experienced professors have networking contacts in the metropolitan job market and are happy to help you make connections.
Fuel your personal interests or professional goals and check out the clubs and organizations that match your interests.
Work for any print media or online publication
Use your knowledge to design newsletters, magazines, catalogs, brochures, charts, illustrations, presentations, and websites. Further your career at JCCC or transfer to a four-year college.
Need help with homework?
The JCCC Academic Resource Center offers free tutoring in almost any subject. JCCC’s Desktop Publishing classes are small — most have fewer than 20 students so you have chance to ask questions and contribute to classroom discussions.
