This course introduces the technical and creative aspects of graphic design, digital design and the design process. Assignments will introduce the most current computer applications and image making software used in the graphic design profession. Traditional and digital design environments will be explored, and principles of 2-d design will be woven into every unit, every project, and every media used. 

Above: Dana Freeman, "Between the Conscious and the Unconscious", photographs & glass books with photo transparencies.

In this art class you'll create images using digital photography. We'll cover the basics of camera use, formal and conceptual concerns, and image editing, through readings, quizzes, exercises, and 5 assignments designed to challenge you to creatively express your ideas.  You will also be required to write a short review of a photographer who inspires you. An SLR digital camera, with "manual" setting option, is recommended. Point and shoot cameras and phone cameras are acceptable, but may limit techniques you can use in some photography assignments, however, this need not affect your grade.  Printing will be discussed, but not required.
