Course Description:
Understanding the history of any area of study is important to learning about and appreciating society today. In Introduction to Graphic Design B, the second course in a two-semester series, the student will be introduced to the history of design and how various design movements have contributed to the field of design. The student will get answers to questions such as “What role does design play in society?” and “How does the field of design relate to other facets of society?” Understanding where the field of design comes from will help the student to appreciate the aesthetics and purposes for design today. In addition, this course expands on foundational knowledge in the basic principles of graphic design. The student will learn to communicate visually through effective layout and interface design. The student will also be introduced to appropriate techniques for the evaluation of art and design. Though the course is structured around computer-assisted graphic design, the student will examine other types of design as well. The student will learn to use Inkscape, an image-editing program that is provided for him or her, and will create several design compositions using this program.
