This course is designed for art and design students who wish to create and publish children’s books, short stories, cartoons, anime, poems, or collections. Students will learn to design and lay out their material (drawings, paintings, photographs, and scanned images) through the use of illustration software (Adobe Illustrator®). The resulting images will be managed through the use of software designed for image manipulation (Adobe PhotoShop®). The culmination of the artistic rendering will be integrated into a high-end composition through the use of specialized software (Adobe InDesign®) for output to print. In addition to the use of software, the course will introduce the student to the basics of color theory, typography, design, layout, pagination, preparation for print, and final print. The focus of the student’s creative efforts throughout the semester will be upon the creation of a full color bound booklet. Prerequisite: GRAD105 Lab Fee Required Lab Fee Required.
