Virtually all businesses use some form of advertising, ranging from an ad in the local newspaper for a small business to a global multimedia campaign for an international company. Advertising is itself big business and there are jobs for able people in many areas of advertising including visual communications.
An education program offering advertising and visual communications will focus on subjects such as lettering, layout, illustration, graphic reproduction, rough and finished art, camera ready art, and the increasingly important field of computer art and design. Such a program will prepare you for a career start in both printed and multimedia advertising work.
