Graphic Design 1  

Graphic Design 1  is an advanced-level art class that focuses on building foundational graphic design skills. The purpose of the class is to introduce the computer-generated art program Adobe InDesign, which specializes in layouts and desktop publishing. This class will also allow students to incorporate prior knowledge from previous Illustrator or Photoshop classes taken, and will combine those skills with InDesign to develop more advanced projects. By completing the class, students will build a skill set that meets the expectation of InDesign skills required to attain an entry-level position as a graphic designer.  

All projects are designed to mirror the kind of commercial artwork that we see on a daily basis. In this class students will continue to develop design skills through the creation of magazine layout, brochure layout, portfolio design, product development, product branding, etc... All while using Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator as the medium for creation.

The class is a fun and welcoming environment open to all students regardless of their current computer skills or prior art knowledge. If you have questions about a graphic design class or would like more information before registering, stop by and see Mr. Burton in room B138.
