In this class, we will explore a variety of communication techniques. First, we will do a deep dive into graphic design, using Adobe Illustrator. Then, we will learn about advertising and marketing, creating ads with Adobe Photoshop. We will segue into print media, such as magazines, and learn skills in InDesign. In Adobe XD, we will learn more about website design (UX/UI designers). We will finish the year off with a long unit about video production, giving you plenty of time to produce your own video projects. We will finish off with a brief introduction to animation, using Adobe Animate. Throughout these units, you will learn how to identify and implement the principles and elements of design and color theory in a digital format.
The disclosure documents are sent home with the students. Please return by 8/20/2025.
We will be using Google Classroom to keep track of our assignments and deadlines for this class. We will be adding the class to your account together during class time. At that time, I will have a class code for you to use.
