Graduates will able to plan, analyze, and create visual solutions to produce web sites, printed materials, and interactive online experiences.

Lake Washington Institute of Technology's Multimedia Design & Production program is proud to announce its Video and Web Production AAS degree and certificate. Formerly known as the Interactive Digital Media program, the curriculum has been updated to reflect the growing synergy between web design and video production as organizations seek to add compelling video content to their websites and develop a social media presence. Students will learn digital storytelling and web design principles, and develop strong video and web production skills through software such as Final Cut Studio, After Effects, Dreamweaver and Flash. Video content distribution through different digital formats will be explored. Program length has been reduced from 116 to 97 credits, requiring less time to complete.

KAIT Exchange Program

The MMDP department will again host an exchange program with students from the Kanagawa Institute of Technology, located near Tokyo. In addition to practical work with English skills, students will create movie posters, beginning with their own conceptual ideas. They will study digital photography, photograph manipulation, and page layout with MMDP instructors. The resulting projects will be displayed and presented at a reception in honor of the students. A video of last year's event is available on YouTube .
