COMPUTER AIDED GRAPHIC DESIGN-II

Course Description

This course outlines the common graphic tools available in layout design. The basic operations of the computer and its applications to art and design are introduced. Students should understand that using design programs such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator is only a tool like a pen or brush. Creatively, innovatively and effectively use these tools only possible in understanding and using graphic design principles. The aim of this course is for the students to develop their ability to use InDesign effectively and create images that successfully reproduce on paper or the web. The Design course exposes students to the powerful vector manipulation tool used by leading designers within the industry.
