Digital Design

In this course, students identify the role graphic design plays in the world of communications. They study the effective use of the basic tools of design (composition, layout, typography and colour) in both traditional and digital venues. The course introduces students to digital graphic design with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat and InDesign, and gives students the basic tools for drawing, layout and manipulating images in print and web media. The preparation of these ideas will be further expressed through the use of presentation graphics with an introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint.
