Description: In this course, students will learn advanced levels of creative development through the use of the Adobe Suite CS6 Web & Design Premium: Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks & Bridge. Through instructor- and student-based exercises and projects, individual and group critique, portfolio development and evaluation, and research and written assignments, students are expected to develop effective visual communications skills, strengthen individual and artistic style, and demonstrate a professional and sophisticated understanding of the technical and creative processes inherent in digital art. Topics explored include: Advanced graphic tools and color models, advanced manipulation and compositing techniques, image optimization, layout and composition, and cross-media design formats (print and digitally based formats). Students will also use advanced web based media in a variety of formats, including audio and video. They are expected to complete individual research projects to demonstrate understanding and application of visual theories, professional techniques and other academic skills such as decision-making, problem-solving, critiquing and writing skills.

This course is designed for advanced-level students with previous knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and the prior skills needed to learn advanced digital art techniques taught in the course.
