Welcome to the world of graphic design, where your idea is your most powerful tool. In this class, you will learn to think like a designer and create compelling visual art that tells a story. We'll explore how to combine shapes, words, and images to express, inform, and influence an audience. 

This class will function as a "design company," with each project simulating a real-world job and having specific deadlines. You'll get hands-on experience with fundamental principles like conceptual design, illustration, and color theory. We'll also cover the basics of typography, advertising layout, and digital media, using a mix of traditional drawing tools and computer software to bring your ideas to life.
