PAGE DESIGN-II

Course Description

This course extends and deepens the design skills which students have gained from the prerequisite Page Design I course. Through the completion of practical exercises and hands-on instruction, students gain greater experience and competence in the use of industry-standard design software. Particular emphasis is placed on the creation of original design work for print and online publication and the integration of this design with writing and photography which students have prepared in previous departmental courses. The course will be assessed through a portfolio of work reflecting the particular specializations which individual student journalists have developed throughout the degree program.
