Graphic Design
Tabs
(9-12): Level 2
(Semester) .5 credits
Graphic Design is the study and creation of visual communication. This course will study visual perception through the use of color, design and typography. Through the use of the industry standard Adobe Creative Suite students will learn several skills in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Students will explore the theories of graphic design while designing and producing several real world projects. Projects include image manipulation and collaging, visual messaging through text and logo design. All students will be required to maintain a digital portfolio where they can store and showcase their work.
Please note that this is an art course that will require time and commitment from everyone in the classroom and at home. Creating sketches and designing is the core of this course, that being said - words and shapes thrown onto a computer screen/sketchbook is not a thought out design and you will not receive credit for those assignments.
Sketchbooks are encouraged for this course. In your sketchbook you will keep class notes, brainstorm ideas, collect examples and lay out projects. Sketches should be well thought out drawings that take place before you turn to the computer. Please try to date each page as best you can. Doodling in your sketchbook is acceptable and encouraged! You can use a physical sketchbook, or make your notes digitally.
