Course Description: Pre-/corequisite: ART115 or ART120 or CIS135
Graphic Design I is a studio art course introducing students to the fundamental elements of graphic design. The theory and practice of traditional graphic design principles and their relationship to evolving digital technology will be studied in this course. Students will study typography and other elements of graphic design, working with a variety of techniques, and learn how to present their work. While the Mac OS and Adobe Creative Suite will be introduced in this course, the emphasis will be on developing design vision and producing graphic designs of a commercial nature, as opposed to merely mastering software. Students will also learn about the history of graphic design in this course. (F,S)
