Welcome to the exciting world of Computer Graphics. In this course, you will learn to use graphic software (with an emphasis in Adobe Illustrator) in combination with scanners, digital cameras, typography and other graphic elements and tools. You will produce effective graphic design projects for web pages and print media, and learn how to create your own original artwork.

Class begins Monday, August 21, and will meet for 17 weeks. For information about each weekly lesson, click on the lessons button.

The syllabus is available, and all class handouts can be found on the lessons page. The instructor button will lead you to general information about your instructor, and how to reach her.

Lastly, resources will lead to various websites connected with graphic design, many of which go beyond the parameters of the class, but are great to keep for future reference.

The course will have an emphasis on graphic design and fine art principles, which is key to producing designs which clearly differentiate the professional from the amateur.

While there is a lot to cover for a 1.5 unit class, it will be more of an introduction to the many fascinating areas of graphic design, and be very manageable as far as homework, assignments, and projects.
