Graphic Production Pathway The Graphic Production pathway is one of three pathways in the Arts, Audio-Video Technology and Communications Cluster. Graphic Production includes the processes and industries that create, develop, produce, and distribute products that incorporate words and/or pictorial images to convey information, ideas, and feelings. Graphic Production includes the market segments embracing the technologies of the many facets of printing, publishing, packaging, electronic imaging, and their allied industries.

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 during 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.
This class is progressive, with each piece of information being presented and then applied. However, all information is cumulative, and you will need to retain the information from one section to successfully do well 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.
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.
