New York Film Academy’s (NYFA) Graphic Design School has always been committed to developing the next generation of well-trained and successful designers. These students are prepared for an industry that has grown exponentially since the turn of the century, with more opportunities than ever before for skilled graphic designers to find professional work while also expressing themselves in an artistic, creative fashion.

Some of NYFA’s very own 1-Year Conservatory Graphic Design alumni have spent the past year since their graduation, continuing to learn and improve upon their skill sets as they each continue to build their impressive portfolios as professional designers.
