Description:

Prerequisite: ART170 Pre-/corequisite: ART117 or ART141 Graphic Design III is a studio art course introducing students to advanced elements of graphic design. The theory and practice of traditional graphic design principles and their relationship to evolving digital technology will be studied in this course. Students will study the relationship between graphic design elements and complex design challenges such as three-dimensional packaging, multi-page layouts, motion graphics, and web design. While the Mac OS, Adobe CS2 Creative Suite, Quark Xpress, and Flash will be employed in this course, the emphasis will be on developing design vision and producing graphic designs of a commercial nature, as opposed to merely mastering software. Students will also take an active role in deepening their understanding of the history of graphic design in this course. This course is open to both Fine Arts majors and non-majors, providing the pre-/corequisites have been met. (F,S)
