Graphic Design is a creative problem-solving that has the intention of influencing individual and group behavior, political policy, and society at large. It combines a variety of foundational art elements and principles with other mediums including typography, photography, and illustration. It is a vast technical and art genre that continually bombards our senses through everyday exposure including product packaging, public signage, websites, and tv and movie credits just to name a few. In this semester-long course, we will begin studying graphic design from the basics of fundamental design to building more complex design systems. We will approach graphic design as a problem-solving endeavor that pushes creative thinking and approach. Throughout the course, we will explore what graphic design is, how it is used, and who are the leaders in the industry. Students will be exposed to a variety of graphic design examples throughout history. Weeks 1-4: Introduction to graphic design. We will discuss the very basics of graphic design, how it is similar to traditional art and how it differs. We will learn what a graphic designer does and where graphic designers work. We will talk about the planning process of design including thumbnails, roughs, and comps. We will talk about the basic elements of design and each week we will use one of the basic elements of design to create (by hand) an abstract comprehensive design. Weeks 5-8: We will continue our use of the basic elements of 2-dimensional design to create compositional strategies that define concepts into meaningful visual communication. We will use points, shapes, lines, and planes as well as color theory to solve problems. We will also study the Gestalt Theory. Weeks 9-12: We will study Typography and how the use of fonts, size, and space plus font pairings can make or break a design. We will learn a brief history and the anatomy of typefaces. Simple image programs such as paint.net can be used for assignments in this portion of the course. Weeks 13-16: We will finish up our graphic design semester by learning about the Design Process and working through the process as if we were professional graphic designers. We will talk about what makes effective design and how personal preference is not involved when solving client design problems. Students may use graphics software as they wish for assignments for this portion of the course. Week 17: FINAL PRESENTATIONS THIS IS NOT DESIGN SOFTWARE CLASS. For the first few weeks of class we will work strictly with pencil and paper. Once digital software is allowed, students should use a program they are comfortable with. I will not teach digital software in this class. Schedule of coursework: - Monday: Weekly Lecture. The weekly assignments are discussed in great detail during the lecture. - Wednesday: Weekly assignment #1 (thumbnails) is due to be posted in the Outschool classroom. Every student and I will participate in a group discussion and critique of each of the thumbnails. Each student will use the critique of their work to select the 3 most successful thumbnails to continue on to weekly assignment #2. - Friday: Weekly assignment #2 (roughs) is due to be posted in the Outschool Classroom. Every student and I will participate in a group discussion and critique of each of the roughs. Each student will use the critique of their work to select the 1 most successful rough to continue on to weekly assignment #3. - Sunday: Weekly assignment #3 (final comp) is due to be posted in the Outschool Classroom. Every student and I will participate in a group discussion and critique of each of the final composition. We will discuss the overall success or failure of the comp fulfilling the assignment.

Metas de aprendizaje
Students will learn about graphic design as a field of study, the fundamental elements and principles of design, and the process of design thinking. Much of our process will include drawing which will push students' abstract thinking and critical evaluation. 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.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura en Ciencia desde North Carolina State University
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.
