Graphic Arts/Digital Design
Graphic designers use technology to create computer-generated images that can be used to design billboards, posters, product illustrations, logos, cartoons, and more.
Graphic designers inform, persuade, stimulate, attract and provide compelling works of digital art. Learning Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop software allows students to use their imaginations and creativity in a digital format. This course provides instruction on creation, editing from concept to finished product, and also explores career opportunities in this exciting field.
This course may be repeated, with instructor approval.
Those taking THREE semesters of Graphic Arts/Digital Design throughout their high school career have the opportunity to earn specialist certification in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. This certification gives students a commanding competitive edge in today’s academic and professional environments.
