DES 118 - Digital Tools for Art & Design

Students learn the fundamentals of using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Animate, Premiere and InDesign. Through small workshops and assignments centered around understanding the software, students pursue a personal project focused on a software which they have learned from this class. Students will learn how digital tools can be used in both a design and artistic sensibility in order to solve or pose issues within our contemporary culture. While this course is mainly technique driven, students are expected to engage in critical thinking exercises as well as contribute to overall classroom community through critiques and group projects.
