This basic de­sign and color the­ory course ex­plores graphic com­mu­ni­ca­tion through prac­tice, art his­tory and by ex­po­sure to the el­e­ments and prin­ci­ples of de­sign, as well as the de­sign process, in­clud­ing idea de­vel­op­ment through final ex­e­cu­tion. Stu­dents de­velop skills in two-di­men­sional de­sign, color mix­ing, and con­tent cre­ation while em­ploy­ing the de­sign process of re­search, sketch­ing, and ex­per­i­men­ta­tion. Com­mu­ni­ca­tion de­sign­ers use the con­cepts ex­plored in this course in dis­ci­plines such as ad­ver­tis­ing, graphic de­sign, web de­sign, il­lus­tra­tion, broad­cast de­sign, pho­tog­ra­phy, and game de­sign.

This basic design and color theory course explores graphic communication through practice, art history and by exposure to the elements and principles of design, as well as the design process, including idea development through final execution. Students develop skills in two-dimensional design, color mixing, and content creation while employing the design process of research, sketching, and experimentation. Communication designers use the concepts explored in this course in disciplines such as advertising, graphic design, web design, illustration, broadcast design, photography, and game design.

This is a be­gin­ning course that ex­plores the tech­ni­cal and aes­thetic con­cerns of pho­tog­ra­phy. Using dSLR cam­eras, pro­fes­sional light­ing equip­ment and soft­ware, stu­dents will ex­plore fun­da­men­tal con­cepts of light, ex­po­sure, and com­po­si­tion in order to de­velop the abil­ity to con­trol pho­to­graphic style to cre­ate vi­su­ally en­gag­ing im­ages.

This is a beginning course that explores the technical and aesthetic concerns of photography. Using dSLR cameras, professional lighting equipment and software, students will explore fundamental concepts of light, exposure, and composition in order to develop the ability to control photographic style to create visually engaging images.

This basic de­sign and color the­ory course ex­plores graphic com­mu­ni­ca­tion through the un­der­stand­ing of the el­e­ments and prin­ci­ples of de­sign, as well as the de­sign process, in­clud­ing idea de­vel­op­ment through final ex­e­cu­tion.
