Projects include photographic imaging, layout, vector editing, digital painting and retouching, typography, internet graphics, and collaboration. Class discussions cover current professional design topics.
TCOM-381
Photo Imaging I
3 Credits
Students will use photographic imaging software to create, combine, and modify graphic imagery. Topics will include retouching, tonal adjustments, custom brushes and pattern, raster text, spatial illusion, masking techniques, animation, and compositing. Students will research and discuss professional design, effective visual communication, copyrights, and photographic illustration.
TCOM-382
Photo Imaging II
3 Credits
Students will use photographic imaging techniques to produce illustrations, web graphics, composited photographic imagery, and corrected photographs. Techniques learned in previous courses will combine to bring new results.
Topics include image correction, duotones, channels, photographic illustration, path shapes, concept presentation, digital asset management, and advanced layer techniques. Students will explore and discuss design and professional issues and innovations. Bit-mapped imaging (in Adobe Photoshop) is presented in a hands-on, two-term sequence.
TCOM-383
Designing Vector Graphics
3 Credits
Students will use vector graphic software (Adobe Illustrator) and basic design principles to prepare graphic materials. Students will design illustrations for print, web, devices, and distribution, developing technical skill and design sensibility in creating object-oriented graphics through line and node editing using vector graphic software (Adobe Illustrator.)
Students will analyze professional illustration, research trending topics, understand output consequences including color management, and file size efficiency.
