1821 Graphic Design
Grades 10-12: .5 College Prep
Required Sequence: Successful completion of Graphic Design
Students will expand on Adobe Photoshop techniques, tools, and concepts established in Graphic Design I and incorporate supportive software in the form of Adobe InDesign and Illustrator to develop layouts, logo designs, promotional materials, and products for a variety of real-life inspired activities and scenarios. Project-based learning will be used to simulate the design process - from questions and preliminary ideas, to sketches and variations, to finalized designs, products, and presentations. Supplemental research and collaboration with school and community partnerships will help to inform creative choices and concepts throughout the semester. A sketchbook and digital portfolio of work will be required and assessed.
