As much as anything, advertising is the art of persuasion. Powerful images and messages require effective design and writing skills combined with a clear understanding of the product in its market context. Whether you come here to refine your portfolio, acquire new skills or throw some ideas up on a wall, the School of Visual Arts is the place to study. Many of New York's most brilliant ad minds have taught here, and that's a tradition that continues today.
We aim to help you think creatively, as a writer and as a designer. If your career choice is art direction, we recommend taking courses in graphic design and computer art, providing you with the digital technology in use at the top agencies. Courses in painting, drawing, sculpture and color theory will help train your visual perception.
Facing off with a blank piece of paper until you hit on a killer idea is the work that's going to get you the "When can you start?" portfolio. As much as our instructors love the wordplay, nothing turns them on as much as the business of advertising. You will learn the excitement of a strategizing session during which the marketing problem is solved, the brand is enhanced, and the headline and visual that launch a winning concept are created.
