Introductory course in general concepts of graphic design including understanding colors and how they work together, understanding how a media form is used to grab attention, and how to create your own graphic representations. The use of In design software for our presentations and final portfolio was introduced.
This was a very fun class where I was able to use my creative side to create various items usin In Design and Photoshop. The difficulty was limiting our creativity to guidelines the professor gave us. I learned how to use the colorwheel for full effect, how to think outside the box, and how to analize pictures, atricles, and other media from an aesthetic perspective.
