Digital Design is an evolving and exciting multidisciplinary field that underlies many of today's fast-growing industries, from web-based communications to advertising to entertainment.
Applications of digital design can be seen in movies and television, magazine ads, video games, museum and trade show exhibits and of course, online. Today's designers must be entrepreneurs observing market trends, exploiting innovation, creating intellectual property, and applying aesthetic solutions to enhance the value of a product or service.

Information Technology (IT) is transforming our world, changing the way we do business, the way we learn, the way we communicate, and even the way we entertain ourselves.
The IT discipline addresses the integration, design, deployment, and management of computing and networking resources and services, as well as the development of technology infrastructures in organizations. The field of IT has applications ranging across the entire economic spectrum. IT specialists solve complex software and hardware problems that require fundamental knowledge and competencies and utilize the processes of needs assessment, technology transfer, and user support.
This makes IT the ideal home for the interdisciplinary area of Game Production.
