Most California employers expect a bachelor's degree in graphic design, visual communications, or fine arts, typically from a four-year program at a school such as CalArts, ArtCenter College of Design, or a UC or CSU campus. A strong portfolio demonstrating real project work carries as much weight as formal credentials in most California hiring decisions.
