As Graphic Arts students return to school this week, they will start the New Year using brand new computers to finish their package design project, and will begin planning designs for business cards, which will feature students' unique "name" logos, created in Adobe Illustrator.
Additional projects will include "Digital Self Portraits," in which students will learn to use a digital camera, upload their image to Adobe Photoshop, and apply text or other graphics to create a unique reflection of themselves.
Using a hands-on approach, students will solve visual communications problems and explore careers in Graphic Design/ Print Technology. Students will learn to use Adobe CS4 software [Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign] on state-of-the-art Apple computers. Basics of print production, cost estimates, what it means to “preflight work,” font management, color theory, and the formal elements of design–including investigation of line, form, value, color, shape and composition–will also be covered.
