Graphic Design (Digital)

You will learn how to use the tools, palettes and menus in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create original artwork. Then, using Adobe InDesign and the artwork that you have created, you will learn how to professionally design and layout items such as brochures, menus, newsletters and virtually anything else in a printed medium. We will also discuss designing for screens and web. You will learn to use the three programs together as an integrated whole giving you the power to fulfill your design needs from beginning to end. The basics of Typography will be learned including fonts, placement and using type as artwork. We will also cover basic design concepts such as composition, perspective, space and colour. Design trends come and go and this class can help you keep up to date with the graphic design world. Lately, we have been creating "infographics". This is the modern way to visually communicate.  Infographics can be used for Education, Sales/Presentation and Thought Leadership.
