syllabus
Prerequisites: successful completion of Computer Graphics 1.
Course available to: Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors.
This is a full year course for students, who are interested in improving their artistic and design skills.
In addition to working with Adobe software (PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, etc.), students will develop strong visual skills, learn the beauty of typography, understand the process of publishing, product development, and web design. Templates and pre-made designs will not be used in this class.
All the above skills can be applied to a future career as a graphic artist/designer, and are very desired by employers in any career field.

3. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to make up all work. You can sign out art supplies if needed.
4. If your project requires extra time to be completed, you have to make arrangements with me prior the due date. This is your responsibility.
5. Each project has a rubric with specific requirements and guidelines. Follow them.
6. Unless an assignment specifically requires copying, it will be interpreted in the same manner as plagiarism.

2. Cell phones are not allowed at any time. Phones should be turned off and put away.
3. Be in the room before the bell rings. Dropping your stuff and leaving does not qualify you as being on time.
