Art 264 - Digital Design

Digital media is a key creative tool for artists and designers. Lectures, readings, and tutorials introduce students to contemporary design practice, including: digital typography, page design and layout, vector based graphics, and design for the screen. Design projects range from purely textual, single and multi-page document design, to problems that require the successful integration of typography, image, and basic interaction. Students explore how context and form affect meaning and message through the creation of conceptual solutions. Assignments and exercises assist in developing fluency in creative problem-solving and visual communications using desktop publishing and computer graphics software.

Open to BA and BFA students in Art and Art History and BS-ARCH students. ART 131 This course meets twice a week and requires three additional hours of class preparation per week on the part of the student to keep up with the demands of the active learning environment.

Open to non-majors with permission of the instructor.
