Graphic Design 1 explores the elements of art, principles of design, and fundamentals of typography through the creation of industry-standard graphic design projects (e.g., monogram, logo, cover, and infographic) through the mastery of professional creative applications (e.g., Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator). Throughout this class, students will learn essential graphic design terminology, the steps of the design thinking process, and creative app workflows. Each project is based upon student's personal interests and culminates in the creation of a design portfolio.
