New Media Interdisciplinary Concentration Software Seminars
The New Media Interdisciplinary Concentration offered free seminars to students and professors of the School of Communications and Theater. Seminars included Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Final Cut, and DVD Studio Pro.
Computer Graphics for Advertising Majors (ADV3000)
This class for advertising majors was a survey of the Adobe Creative Suite print applications. Students were introduced to Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. They then use these tools to create marketing materials. My teaching strategy involved hands-on exercises and tutorials, written quizzes and practical tests. Students spent the last four weeks of the semester working individually on their final project - a packet of marketing materials for a business of their choice (real or fictional).
Design for Journalists (J152 and J1114)
This course, taught by a professor and three adjuncts, gave journalism students an overview of design history and basic design concepts. Students learned to use Adobe applications to create magazine covers, newspaper layouts, infographics, and a Web site. |
