Students will learn how the elements and principles of design are used to communicate through areas such as commercial art, advertising, graphic and packaging design. They will critically look at how media surrounds and affects us. Students will learn to build and create their own design identity by understanding and creating their own “brand”. Students will be introduced to various programs: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. Drawing skills are necessary as students will design using pencil crayon and/or marker prior to creating the design on the computer. Best of all, students are given the opportunity to contribute their efforts and ideas to the school yearbook.
NOTE: The prerequisite to take this course is Grade 11 Visual Design (AWD 3M1) and/or Grade 11 Art (AVI 3M1)
