We will be using the Illustrator book and the Print Production book within the first week of school so be sure you get them quickly. Don't try to order them from someplace else without making sure they will arrive within a couple of days as you will still be responsible for all work and assignments due.
Textbooks:
Adobe Illustrator CC 202x - The Professional Portfolio Against The Clock publishers. From the publisher (note the eBook is cheaper and instantaneous access). You can get the print version or the online version, either is OK. If you buy used books, you may have to pay extra and download the exercise files.
Adobe Photoshop CC 202x - The Professional Portfolio Against The Clock publishers. From the publisher (note the eBook is cheaper and instantaneous access). You can get the print version or the online version, either is OK. If you buy used books, you may have to pay extra and download the exercise files.
From Design Into Print: Preparing Graphics and Text for Professional Printing By Sandee Cohen, Published May 18, 2009 by Peachpit Press. Order this online here. The Kindle version (the app runs on anything) costs less. If you want the book version, Amazon Prime gets it to you in 2 days. You may check the RU Bookstore to see if they have any copies, here is a link to Barnes & Noble for the book, the Nook eBook works good and is cheaper.
It's up to you how you purchase these books, just make sure you have them in time for quizzes and homework.
(UPDATE! may be not be available until several weeks into the semester)
Materials:
You will need: a USB drive and/or use your cloud Onedrive
Mounting materials (I will explain as needed near midterm), this varies from year to year...
Backup storage is of great importance and there are a lot of options in the Cloud...look here for some ideas- Best Cloud Storage or just use your Onedrive drive here at RU, it's got plenty of space!!
Everyone is required to have their own computer and Adobe software. The Adobe Cloud is available with student rates. Check with me if this is a problem
