Description
Good design is guided by concepts that appeal to viewers and create stability and balance. While not mandatory, understanding these concepts opens up possibilities in design. This course will cover many aspects of design including color, typography, layout and visual hierarchy. This will be accomplished through lectures and hands-on projects, helping you apply them effectively in various design situations. If you are a student in the CCE certificate programs, we recommend taking this course after completion of DES 152 and DES 154.
Weekly Expected Hours of Engagement:
6 – 9 pm on Thursdays. A typical week will be loosely divided into 3rds, one part lecture, one part class discussion, and one part one-on-one between the student and instructor.
