Graphic Arts & Printing

Students in the Graphic Arts and Printing program study the various methods of reproducing images by printing, duplicating, screen-printing, and photography. Hands-on instruction includes computer copy preparation encompassing the use of desktop publishing software, scanners and laser printers, laser film imaging, paste-up, process camera operations, stripping, plate making, bindery, and the operation of various one, two, and four color offset presses, and process color production. The class places a heavy emphasis on the offset printing process. Advanced topics include desktop publishing.

Welcome! I’m Andrea Langley, the Graphic Arts and Printing Instructor. This year marks my 13th year teaching Graphics and Printing Communications. My journey in this field actually began right here as a student - I'm a 2000 graduate of Mount Pleasant High School and GI-TEC, where I first fell in love with Career and Technical Education (CTE) and graphic design. Before stepping into the classroom, I gained hands-on industry experience working at a local graphics company, which directly shapes the practical curriculum I teach today. I hold degrees in Graphic and Printing Communications teaching from both Mid Michigan College and Central Michigan University. Outside of school, I’m a wife and mother of three who loves crafting and collecting vintage video games.
