Innovate. Create.


EWU Department of Design Logo

What is Design?

It’s everywhere you look. The logo on your sneakers, the app on your phone, the billboard overhead, the website before you: Someone designed this. Whenever information is communicated visually, whenever a user interacts with a device: Someone designed this.

Every industry needs designers, even industries yet to be imagined. Their logos, websites, products, packaging. Someone will design them. Will it be you?
