Testimonials

Carlos Dominguez, class of 2002, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design. Immediately after graduation, Carlos landed a position as Graphic Designer in the advertising department at Perry Ellis International. There he provides creative support to departments under the Perry Ellis umbrella such as designing labels and trims for the fashion division to newsletters for employee reference. Carlos also creates outdoor advertising, magazine ads, catalogs, presentation boards and books for Perry Ellis's marketing efforts.

He chose Miami International University of Art & Design out of all the universities in South Florida due to its reputation of qualified professors, the opportunity to learn in a small classroom environment and the level of technology available to students.

Dominguez enjoys the work of a graphic designer because of the variety that each day entails. He is able to apply his creativity to clothing, print and television. Carlos worked diligently learning all programs required in the field to become a successful part of the Perry Ellis team. His advice to students is to put great effort into their portfolio. “A portfolio is very crucial for a designer's career and survival,” says Dominguez. “Read many design books for ideas and inspiration.”
