Advanced
Graphic Design The profession of graphic design utilizes creativity and technology to communicate ideas or messages. The outcomes of this communication can be in the form of printed materials, architectural signage and graphics, exhibition environments, packaging and electronic media. While primarily concerned with the visual communication of information, graphic designers are also interested in the persuasive nature of the message. The overall objective for the Advanced Graphic Design is to bring together the skills you learned in the introductory level course along with the skills you will acquire in the advanced level and complete a project using Illustrator, Photoshop, ImageReady and DreamWeaver. Hands on learning is an important in my class. Students will learn by watching HTML driven lessons filled with screen shots, animations and information needed to teach them software programs. As they watch they will be promted to work along with the lesson individually. Lessons are posted on the internet for students to access. Throughout the course they will be given projects so that the students can experiment with the tools they learn. Developing original and innovative ideas, is encouraged throughout the curriculum. Once they have completed projects the students will critique their own and each others work, giving them a chance to interact with others and work as a team. Software to be covered: Adobe
