Meet COMD Students

Welcome to COMD at CityTech. The Communication Design program (COMD) at the New York City College of Technology (CityTech) answers the diverse needs of visual communications and the creative design industries in New York City and beyond. We create visuals that move, design memorable images and iconography, develop characters that tell a story, build websites and design applications that help people to learn, work, share, meet, entertain, experience, and grow.
