In this class students will learn about graphic design principles, creative and expressive typography, page layout, and digital image manipulation through the completion of both print and multimedia based assignments. Industry standard software Adobe Creative Suite will be used for all class projects. Good design has a story to tell and we will work together to get our stories out.
