This course in­tro­duces stu­dents to core con­cepts in the graphic com­mu­ni­ca­tions field. Lec­tures will pro­vide his­tor­i­cal per­spec­tive as well as ex­am­in­ing cur­rent prac­tice and fu­ture media trends. Stu­dents will ex­am­ine and work with dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies for print and the web such as Portable Doc­u­ment For­mats (PDF) and Ex­ten­si­ble Hy­per­text Markup Lan­guage (XHTML). Ex­am­i­na­tion of the role of ty­pog­ra­phy, paper, color the­ory and image cap­ture in the de­sign and pro­duc­tion process. Stu­dents will also use the Open­Lab web­site (https://​openlab.​citytech.​cuny.​edu/) dur­ing the course. There will be at least one field trip, which will be an in­te­gral part of the course. 1 class hr, 2 lab hrs, 2 cred­its
