Print Design I

Course Description

This course introduces students to the language and techniques of print design. Basic skills of developing raster and vector images for offset and screen-printing are explored through software such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Page layout techniques and typesetting are learnt through Adobe InDesign. Research based projects familiarize students with print standards and formats such as posters, postcards, stamps and magazines. The course includes a field trip to a printing press and a screen printer. Students use skills learnt in Interaction Design I. They also learn to apply these processes to the design of holistic services and physical products.
