Digital Imaging I
Digital Imaging I
This introductory course provides a foundation in digital imaging through hands-on exploration of both raster-based and vector-based tools using industry-standard software, including Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Students will learn essential skills in image editing, composition, and design, gaining a strong understanding of digital workflows used in professional visual communication. In Adobe Photoshop, students will explore image correction, retouching, compositing, and the use of layers, masks, and adjustments to enhance and manipulate photographic content. In Adobe Illustrator, students will be introduced to vector graphics, learning how to create scalable artwork, logos, and illustrations using shape-building tools, paths, typography, and color systems. Projects will reinforce the integration of raster and vector elements, encouraging students to think creatively while mastering the technical aspects of each program.
