| Course Description | This course is an introductory course where the first practices are done in digital design. After a general introduction to desktop publishing software, we will use Adobe Illustrator CC software to produce two-dimensional visual design projects.
While practicing creative processes, project management and digital design workflow planning, you will experience a teamwork environment by criticizing projects and methods with your classmates.
During the semester, in addition to being a listener in the classroom environment, you are expected to be an active/participating student, such as reading recommended web articles and watching videos, contributing to class discussions, and continuing projects outside of class. |
