No prior experience required
Students use industry standard technologies to develop basic drawing skills, color theory, layout and graphic design principles. These skills are used to create and analyze graphic products, solve problems for real clients and expose students to a variety of career possibilities. Design concepts learned in this class are not only a foundation for graphic arts courses, but also yearbook, newspaper and literary/ art magazine courses.
Graphic Design II provides students with the opportunity to learn more complex rendering, design and graphic production skills and techniques. Class problems have more conceptual and technical depth as they build on the student’s previous experiences in Graphic Design I
