PrintED Launches Ninth Area of Accreditation

RESTON, VA—March 16, 2009—The Graphic Arts Education and Research Foundation (GAERF) has launched PrintED's newest area of accreditation: Advertising & Design. Because today's printing and publishing industry is symbiotically tied to graphic designers, and the design process is an essential element in the print workflow, accreditation in Advertising & Design is a natural addition to the PrintED core competencies. This action ensures that our industry is reaching out to—and properly training—all the talented young people who may be interested in graphic communications.
