Designing with Computers
Introduction to Graphic Design
Students will be provided with a foundational understanding of the essential software for beginning their careers as digital designers. This will include the Adobe Creative Suite software (Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver), FinalCutPro, ProTools and Microsoft’s Power Point. The class will provide an overview of the various interface elements and program capabilities through a variety of engaging design projects. The course allows students who are considering pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Digital Design to sample the many different possible directions and methodologies that they might follow.
This course will help students build a familiarity with the use of point, line, shape, texture and color in order to create designs that build a sense of space, time and motion. Knowledge of these tools and how they work will help them to better understand design for 2D mediums such as screen based and print media, as well as photography and film. Students will develop important familiarity with concepts of harmony, scale and proportion, contrast and emphasis, as well as rhythm by means of exercises and readings. These readings and exercises will help them to realize these important concepts in their work as digital designers.
