Creativity in Action is a course that explores an understanding of creativity and innovation, including leading theorists and the generation of ideas. Questions investigated include who is creative, and why? What does it mean to be creative? Is creativity a general attribute, or is it discipline-specific? Students will learn how creative juices flow and how such creative flow materializes into meaningful ideas. Sure, some ideas are wacky, and some are slightly humorous, but we are looking to develop creativity into solving revolutionary challenges. This course values creativity in action, which goes beyond merely risk-taking and solving problems. [Core Curriculum Goal Area 6]

The relevance of Adobe InDesign to design for traditional print media, screen media, interactive multimedia, and web-based media platforms will be introduced and discussed in this course. The software will be used to create, export, and present all design tutorials and individual projects. The project-based approach employed in this course gets students an in-depth understanding of the software through step-by-step instructions through every phase of a project. The projects in this class reflect a range of different types of work represented in the various academic pathways students may choose to pursue in The School of Technology, Art & Design.
