Abstract

Education is a prime element in constructing human civilization. The different streams of education have been divided into different disciplines according to the demand of today’s world. Art education is a necessary stream in that context. Painting is called the first visual language of humans. The necessity of visual language or art education is boundless. Creative art education is divided into multiple branches. Graphic Design is one of its parts, which is very necessary and attractive. In today’s technology-based order, the modern representation of graphic design is visual communication. Graphic Design art education comprising technology-based knowledge is necessary in today’s world. Currently, there are 165 public and private universities in Bangladesh. Among those five publics and three private universities are running programs in graphic design.  There is a great demand for skilled and educated graphic designers in private sectors both at home and abroad.  Whereas the number of graphic design graduates is not sufficient. In global industry, the activities of Bangladeshi graphic designers are limited. Although they are limited in number, they have maintained their reputation in workplaces. There should be expansion of higher education in graphic design both in local and international arena. Here, different challenges and prospects in graphic design education have been identified.
