ART 240 - Graphic Design I, 2 credit hours In this studio course, students will generate independent creative solutions to a series of design problems that answer the question: “How do graphic designers create compelling print layouts that effectively communicate to their target audience?” Students will learn how to apply basic design principles and elements to create informative and/or persuasive print layouts. In addition to the graphic terms and techniques learned, students will expand their knowledge in other design processes including, brainstorming, conceptualizing, critical thinking, industry-standard software (Adobe Creative Cloud), mock-up, and project presentation.
Students must provide a laptop computer to be used in class and have a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud Software (Adobe CC), specifically Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign.
