VIU Graphic Design

Always creating, sketching, or designing online? At VIU, we channel that talent into real career potential. Our Graphic Design program blends creativity with practical skills using the tools today’s professionals rely on, like Adobe, Figma, and AI-enhanced platforms.

Design is evolving–and so is the way we are teaching it. VIU’s close-knit campus and smaller class sizes allow our students grow their skills and their confidence by getting a more personalized experience.

There’s still time to join our program but seats are limited.

Applications for the Fall 2025 semester are open until Wednesday, April 30.

At Vancouver Island University, our students don’t just learn graphic design—they master it. Apply today!

Canadians produce roughly 1800lbs of garbage per person annually, with approximately 35% of that waste packaging. Fueled by this reality, VIU graphic design students found over-packaged products and redesigned them to be more ecologically responsible.

Unwrapped: A package design exhibit where less is more showcases the outcomes of this challenge. The working process and final packages are exhibited from November 22 to December 1 at the View Gallery at Nanaimo's VIU Campus. Open 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday to Friday.
