on Internet, Interactive Media, etc.

We will be doing various hands on
design projects, learning basic design concepts, and applying them,

computer graphic design.

There will be small lab projects
that will enable students to learn the capabilities of various
programs and then apply them to specific design issues, as well as
discussions of current design issues and events.

There will be individualized final
projects. These projects will be done in class. A portfolio of
current events articles will be compiled by students, and there may
be some required trips to shows or demonstrations.
Are there any special demands,
costs, etc.?
There may be some small amount of
money necessary for purchase of computer disks or for enlarging
printouts. This will be kept to a minimum - approximately
$10.00-$20.00
Details and
pre/co-requisites:
There are no pre-requisites. All
skill levels, art-wise and computer-wise are welcome. We will be
using Macs, color scanning and color laser printing for the project.
