LM114 Graphics Design Bootcamp (LM114)


Description
This course is for anyone who is interested in becoming a graphic designer, and especially geared towards total beginners. I'll show you how to make some of the most popular projects in the industry, like:

custom logos
business cards
brochures
web graphics
and more.
We will be using Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator; the industry-standard applications for graphic design. We'll also review relevant terms and design practices to help you create pixel-perfect projects for print and web, with the goal to get you up and running as soon as possible so you can start your new and exciting career as a graphic designer.

If you aren't looking to learn design for a job, don;t worry - this is a great course for you too! Many students are looking to make fun cards or invitations, or students looking to spice up their resumes and social media graphics, and teachers looking to add some creative elements to their homework materials - the list goes on and on. Design is for everyone! And this course is, too!
