In Graphic Arts II
students further develop the skills learned in GA I. Students
move on to advanced levels of desktop publishing and concentrate much
more on darkroom work, platemaking, operation of the offset printing
press, and finishing and bindery work. GA II students who meet
academic and attendence standards may concider On The Job Training
