5th Period Overview & Purpose

Students will continue to explore the principles of design and layout procedures related to graphic design in an increasingly independent manner. This course will cover electronic systems and software programs used in graphic design, page composition, image conversion, and digital printing. Knowledge and skills in digital design and imaging will be enhanced through experiences simulating the graphic design industry, as well as school-based and work-based learning opportunities. Students will combine their talents and creativity while designing, photographing, and laying out the 2021/2022 GTHS Yearbook. This is the final course in the Graphic Design pathway.

Education Standards

AAVTC-AGD-1
The following standard is included in all CTAE courses adopted for the Career Cluster/Pathways. Teachers should incorporate the elements of this standard into lesson plans throughout the course. The topics listed for each element of the standard may be addressed in differentiated instruction matching the content of each course. These elements should be integrated into class activities as applications of the concept.

Standard: Demonstrate employability skills required by business and industry.

The following elements should be integrated throughout the course content:

• 1.1 Communicate effectively through writing, speaking, listening, reading, and interpersonal abilities.

Expectations

This is a progressive class, and each piece of information will be presented and then applied. All information is cumulative, so retaining information from one section is essential for success in subsequent sessions. If you do not understand something or miss a class, it is your responsibility to seek further information or ask for clarification or repetition.

Assignment Timelines

We live in a world of deadlines. All assignments should be completed by the due date and submitted in class or to the Google Folder set up for the class on the scheduled due date. Late projects will lose 5 points from the final grade for the first day late, and 5 points for each additional day (24 hours) late. The class start time is considered the start of a new day.
