MM145 - Image Design for Multimedia 1
Instructor: Julia Voellinger Griffey

Goal: Image Design for Multimedia 1 is intended to introduce students to Illustrator, Quark and Photoshop. This class prioritizes understanding the essentials of each software package and how to use these tools, separately and together, to create designs that effectively convey information. Each software package provides the user with a different outlook on how the computer thinks about image data. Special attention is paid to the use of good form in design, understanding use of color, line, shape and typography. Course work is set up to provide students with basic software and design skills.

Assignment: "All magazines use illustrations to give a story personality and depth. Choose one illustration that you see in a magazine and emulate the illustrator's style while creating a portrait of yourself."

Your goal is not necessarily to create a realistic representation of yourself nor is it to copy the illustration you use for inspiration, but rather to emulate an illustration style using the parameters of your own features.
