OER Open Ed­u­ca­tion Re­source Ad­vanced ty­po­graphic de­sign prin­ci­ples. Ty­po­graphic ap­pli­ca­tions for web de­sign, print and mo­tion graph­ics are ex­plored, as well as in­te­gra­tion of de­sign and pro­duc­tion in the lab­o­ra­tory.

OER Open Education Resource Advanced typographic design principles. Typographic applications for web design, print and motion graphics are explored, as well as integration of design and production in the laboratory.

This course in­tro­duces stu­dents to core con­cepts un­der­ly­ing all dig­i­tal media —graphic de­sign, web, broad­cast, an­i­ma­tion, il­lus­tra­tion and game de­sign—that the ADGA de­part­ment of­fers in its as­so­ci­ate and bach­e­lor de­gree pro­gram. Weekly lec­tures ex­plain tech­ni­cal con­cepts such as res­o­lu­tion, com­pres­sion, and color space, con­cepts that allow stu­dents to pro­duce cre­ative work across media with more pre­dictable re­sults. Stu­dents work with a va­ri­ety of graphic arts soft­ware pro­grams to re­veal how the soft­ware ap­pli­ca­tion’s tools and menus in­cor­po­rate the sci­en­tific prin­ci­ples dis­cussed dur­ing lec­ture.

This course introduces students to core concepts underlying all digital media —graphic design, web, broadcast, animation, illustration and game design—that the ADGA department offers in its associate and bachelor degree program. Weekly lectures explain technical concepts such as resolution, compression, and color space, concepts that allow students to produce creative work across media with more predictable results. Students work with a variety of graphic arts software programs to reveal how the software application’s tools and menus incorporate the scientific principles discussed during lecture.

The ex­plo­ration of cre­ative vi­sual think­ing and its im­por­tance to com­mu­ni­ca­tion de­sign. Stu­dents will ex­per­i­ment with image mak­ing tech­niques and learn to use graphic el­e­ments to com­mu­ni­cate con­cepts and ideas. The course will em­pha­size the in­te­gra­tion of com­mu­ni­ca­tion con­cepts, type and graph­ics and its re­la­tion­ship to mul­ti­ple dis­ci­plines such as ad­ver­tis­ing, graphic de­sign, web de­sign, il­lus­tra­tion, broad­cast de­sign, pro­duc­tion, and oth­ers. Stu­dents de­velop pro­jects from thumb­nails through final pre­sen­ta­tions.

The exploration of creative visual thinking and its importance to communication design. Students will experiment with image making techniques and learn to use graphic elements to communicate concepts and ideas. The course will emphasize the integration of communication concepts, type and graphics and its relationship to multiple disciplines such as advertising, graphic design, web design, illustration, broadcast design, production, and others. Students develop projects from thumbnails through final presentations.
