COMPUTER GRAPHICS:
This class offers instruction in using the following
applications: Adobe Creative Suite, Macromedia, and other software
programs. Each
application is taught with a self-paced, tutorial book.
The class also uses lectures and demonstrations. Students create graphics and scan images for use in either desktop or electronic publications. Many desktop
publications are produced to teach the basics of the layout program, PageMaker. Typical projects
are business cards, greeting cards, menus, three-fold brochures, magazine articles and CD
covers.
PREREQUISITES:
Each of these applications has a steep learning curve. Students are expected to already have computer knowledge to the extent that they can locate files between directories, copy, delete and rename files and folders in the Explorer program, and understand basic keyboarding and keyboard shortcuts used in the Windows environment.
