Graphic Design

This elective will introduce students to Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Character Animator. Term 1 will focus on the principles of graphic design, typography, page layout, and composing documents for print and the web. Using Adobe InDesign students will create an original magazine and promotional marketing materials taking your idea from conceptualization to the finished product for print and the web. Working in Adobe Illustrator students will create vector graphic images, diagrams, infographics, logos, and illustrations.  In Adobe Character Animator students will bring 2-D characters to life on the small screen complete with voice-overs, dramatic acting, backdrops, and camera close-ups.  Students will create their first short animations using stock characters and quickly advance to creating their own  2-D cartoon characters constructed in Adobe Illustrator.
