In this course students will be encouraged to think creatively to transform a complex concept into a simple but understandable form.

Students will learn the basic workflow of digital art creation using Adobe software. Students will create numerous design projects using digital and hands-on techniques with a focus on using the professionally accepted application to complete the assignment.
