CORE Graphics
At The Center of Excellence!
At The CORE
Created by Brian Sledge, Teacher of Graphic Design at Eastside High School in Paterson, NJ, CORE Graphics empowers young creators to write, design, brand, and publish their own original creative projects across multiple disciplines, including graphic novels, fashion graphics, web design, branding, and product design. Students combine traditional writing, storytelling, and design techniques with cutting-edge AI tools to enhance visual storytelling, worldbuilding, digital branding, and creative production.
Each project becomes a reflection of authentic student creativity — bold, original, and deeply personal — while preparing students with real-world creative, communication, and presentation skills.
CORE Graphics represents a powerful balance of tradition, innovation, and future-ready design thinking.
*(In April of 2026, Mr. Sledge restructured his CORE Graphic course, and is now the standard Graphic Design curriculum for the Pateerson School District)!
AI Integration
At CORE Graphics, AI is treated not as a replacement for writing and drawing skills, but as a creative partner. Students learn to incorporate writting techniques (like plot development, character deevelopment, literary structure) and design skills (like storyboarding), with AI, making the creative process faster, more accessible, and visually stunning without losing the human heart behind every story!
