| This intensive course explores the potential of graphic design. We will focus on the creation of a concept to amplify content while also developing sensitivity to the relationships between typography and image, symbolism, language and text. Throughout the course, emphasis will shift from idea generation and design theory to technical skills. Lectures on creativity, design and color theory, graphic design and letterform history, and typography are a regular part of the course. There will be some use of the Macintosh in class to develop work. The course will focus on the harmonization of all elements of design with a conscious understanding of the intention with which elements are chosen, organized, and created. The course accommodates beginners and more advanced students who are building a portfolio. |

| Design is the process of selecting, organizing, and processing visual elements-shape, value, texture, color, and line-to express oneself in a cohesive and creative manner. You will develop visual awareness and a working knowledge of the design elements by solving a series of two-dimensional problems. During this process, you will employ a variety of media and materials. Principles learned in this course have direct application to all media and will provide you with a foundation and direction for seeing and for learning skills in other courses. |

| Adobe Illustrator is a premier, high-level design application used by graphic designers. This course has two objectives: to help you become proficient in Illustrator and to develop your ability to use Illustrator to solve a range of graphic design problems. During the first part of the course you will learn basic Illustrator skills such as drawing, type, layers, masks, painting, and gradients. The second part of the course will be devoted to applying these basic techniques to design issues related to logo and typographic design, touching briefly on the integration of Illustrator and Photoshop. If you have some experience with the Macintosh computer and want to learn what you can accomplish in graphic design using the computer as a tool, this introductory course will provide the requisite Adobe Illustrator skills. |

| This non-computer-based course begins your exploration of illustration by working on essential drawing skills, introducing you to many of the techniques an illustrator uses, and covering theoretical topics relevant to illustration. Through weekly homework assignments and in-class critiques, the course emphasizes idea and visual metaphor development and the search for a personal style. Slide lectures on idea generation, design and color theory, and the work of illustrators-and also painters and sculptors of interest to illustrators-are a regular part of the course. Class projects include drawing and color explorations as well as the illustration of editorials, short stories, book jackets, posters, and sequential art. You also may bring your own projects to the course, which is designed to accommodate beginners seeking a foundation and others interested in strengthening their skills. |

| This course continues your exploration of illustration by simulating the experiences of a professional freelance illustrator, and by offering publishable assignments with real magazine art directors with whom we are partnered. For the most part, weekly homework assignments will be drawn from previously illustrated components in books, magazines, and newspapers. Due to the importance of concept development, we will discuss text and ideas before beginning sketches, then proceed from sketches to finished art. Assignments will range from spot illustrations in black and white to larger color pieces. You may work in any medium or on a computer. Each class will consist of the presentation of a topic, samples of artful illustration, and critiques of prior assignments. This seminar-style course utilizes group participation and accommodates individual needs. Whenever possible, we also will hear from guest art directors and professional illustrators. At the end of the semester, we will learn practical tips for preparing a portfolio and showing it in the real world. Prerequisite: A beginning illustration course or some drawing experience. |

| InDesign allows designers to create complex and sophisticated designs and publications. Following a project-based format used in professional design studios, we will attempt to recreate a real world setting by taking projects from concept to completion. Students will work through various exercises to gain a deeper understanding of style sheets, master pages, and file preparation. As part of our course we will also look at the work of historical and contemporary international publication designers. Possible design projects include a poster, magazine layouts, a marketing package, catalog, and a CD cover. Prerequisite: Knowledge of the Macintosh computer, Introduction to InDesign or an equivalent course, and basic Photoshop skills. |

| Experience first hand the wonder of children's book creation! The objective of this course is to enable you to produce your own children's book "dummy," a mock-up suitable to present for publication. More advanced students may work toward submitting illustrations to the Bologna Book Fair. Throughout the semester we will focus on issues of style, color, and design, and discuss topics such as layout, characterization, pace, and mood, and their relationship to illustration. Assignments will allow you to experiment with various media and to work toward a consistent style. As your work develops, your manuscript will be continually cross-critiqued by the instructor and the other students. We also will examine the various types of children's books currently in the marketplace and you will become familiar with the current demands of editors, publishers, and agents in the publishing industry. Prerequisite: A beginning illustration course or some drawing experience. |
