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 in one of the professional certificate programs, this course is best completed after completing Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator or if you have had prior experience with both of these software programs. Basic computer skills are required to take this course. This is an online course for credit. Please refer to the supply list tab for course requirements.
This course must meet minimum enrollment by January 21 in order to run. Register today!
