Students will learn about the use of illustrations and photography in graphic design. They will also learn about layouts and compositions to create thoughtful and effective designs. Students will be encouraged to explain their designs and justify their design decisions. We will also have several presentations of their work with public speaking.

I have a Degree in Graphic Design, a Bachelor of Science, and over 20 years of working experience in art and graphic design including being the CEO of Little Daisy Media.  I believe that the art of graphic design, or at the very least an appreciation for that art, is something that everyone should practice.  Graphic design floods our visual perception everywhere, from the products we buy to the advertisements we are exposed to.  I want to share my knowledge of graphic design so that kids understand the basic elements and can build on that to become creative critical thinkers.

Assessments Offered
LOOKING FOR HIGH SCHOOL ART CREDITS?  The Graphic Design Visual Communication is a great way to earn art credits for high school. I will provide a written assessment of student's performance in class that is based on class participation, timeliness of submissions, and overall work.  Please contact me in advance.
