This course focuses on improving communication skills, print production and image manipulation using digital photography and Adobe tools. Students will build knowledge as they go forward learning how to evaluate their projects, revise, collaborate with others and redesign them. Specific attention will be focused on developing concepts and principles of effective design. The goal is to have students become more visually literate and communicate ideas using graphic design. Although each teacher teaching this course may teach the material differently with different projects, the same overall skills needed to be successful within the course will be taught by each teacher.
