Graphic design combines the world of art and technology to communicate and represent ideas visually. Use the basic elements and principles of art, such as contrast, color, negative space, and shape along with the use of computer programs to craft promotional pieces, publications, and digital art.
Produce original layouts for newsletters, catalogs, logos, and advertisement pieces that reach an audience. Share your message through a creative collection of words, symbols, and images while using graphic design techniques to create your WOW! factor.
The student must bring a laptop or tablet and have access to a personal email account to set up a Canva account. Minimum laptop or tablet requirements: (1) Windows 10 or later, ChromeOS, or MacOS 10.13 or later; and (2) a relatively recent web browser: Chrome (63+), Edge (15+), Firefox (57+), or Safari (11+). iPads are compatible.
