Computer Graphics and Digital Design 5 - 6

In this project-based course, students will function as real-world, freelance, graphic com­munications entities. During the course of the year, students will acquire clients from the school, school district, or local community fulfilling their individual graphic communi­cation needs. At the end of the course, students will have created a digital and/or print portfolio of their work to be used for job interviews, college admissions packages, and internship assignments.
