Building on the knowledge and skills that students acquired during their first semester, this course focuses on combining design principles and research methods with digital forms of making. The course will introduce a number of tools and software through class exercises and assignments to help students develop a strong conceptual and theoretical grounding, while the lab component will strengthen the students’ technical skills. The course is divided into four modules corresponding to the four software that students will be learning in this course: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign and Adobe Premiere.
