 Welcome to the Media Design & Production Program at CPTC! This program page website was built through a joint effort by instructors and students as a way for you to explore our program from the comfort of your home. You will find many examples of the work of our students as you explore these pages, but to really get a feel for what we do here, please come and visit us in person.
Orientations are normally held at 3:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Orientations are held in Building 11. During the orientation, faculty will provide information about what is taught in the program, what fees are required, what books and supplies are needed, the job outlook and employment information. Faculty will discuss program entrance requirements and prerequisites, and an estimate of the next available start date.
We have a lot of fun in the Media Design field, but we also work very hard. We specialize in taking creative people and training them to apply that creativity to the business world. If you are a frustrated artist, or working at a job that does not value your creative mind or your eye for color, come see us. We will take that creativity and help you channel it into skills that will prepare you for careers in the exciting Media Design field.
If you are are interested in gaming, photography, video or web design, we have classes that specialize in those fields. Many of our students come to us because they are passionate about their hobbies: skateboarding, snow boarding, photography, painting and drawing... etc. They've taught themselves how to shoot video or still photos of their hobbies and have learned to share those videos or photos online through myspace, facebook or youtube. They come to us because they want to take their skills to the next level using our state of the art photography & video studios, our Avid editing suites, 3D Studio Max expertise, or to explore the mysteries of ecommerce programming.
We now offer two 5 quarter programs:
You can find a list of the classes, credits and clock hours on the main CPTC website.
If you choose to take the Media Design Degree, your 5 quarters begin with basic classes exploring the Adobe Creative Suite, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Flash, Dreamweaver and Encore. Also included are 3d art and animation, drawing (pencil on paper) and a class on Visual Thinking and Story Boarding as it applies to Multimedia Design. As the program progresses you will take classes in digital video and audio production and editing, as well as classes in digital still photography.
