| Course Objectives: | This course provides the technical skills & creative principles required to create graphics and animations in education. This course explores graphic design as it relates to the print, Internet and motion graphics, including graphics for ad, web design and computer animation. Projects developed in this course will add to a student’s portfolio an element of design and motion from traditional techniques and from modern computer-based techniques. Insights gained through understanding will provide the student with the means to make responsible, informed decisions regarding the quality of animated designs, ads, and motion graphics. Graphic topics include formats, size and resolution, optimization, and design fundamentals and principles. Animation topics include strategies for planning and designing interactive animations, its effective use in education, and combining sound, speech, graphics, photographs and video using scripting. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Define the basic terminology and concepts relative to graphic design and animation; 2. Identify the differences between raster and vector graphics; 3. Demonstrate an understanding of the constraints that must be taken into account for graphic design; 4. Acquire images from a variety of sources; 5. Demonstrate an understanding of how to use the tools common to most graphics programs; 6. Describe the basic process of 2D (Traditional) computer animation - modeling, animating and rendering; 7. Develop and produce basic traditional animations; 8. Develop and produce computer-based animations using a variety of animation tools; 9. Practice and develop a grasp of the basics of three software programs – Flash for animation, and Photoshop for graphic design, primarily through practicing tutorial exercises and other self-directed learning; 10. Combine graphics, text, and audio clips to create multimedia projects; 11. Review, understand and use basic design elements/principles to create successful multimedia projects; 12. Demonstrate an understanding of the value and necessity of seeking your own answers to questions concerning software and design skills and concepts. |
