SI 520: Graphic Design

This course aims to support professional development of SI students by exploring the art and science of visual communication. The conceptual part of the course enables students to improve/develop their aesthetic sensibilities and design skills through mastering visual language vocabularies, understanding principles of effective visual communications, and solving creative problems, while connecting these to technological, cultural, and social spheres. In the hands-on part of the course students gain necessary software skills, learn how to follow or establish identity guidelines, prepare work for print or Web production, and select the right tools, media, and budget for their projects. While studying the elements of layout, typography, illustration, color, and Web design, students build their design portfolio.
