Catalog description

During this course, students use current software packages to produce a wide range of high-quality interoffice publications such as forms, proposals and directories, and outside–of-organization communications such as flyers, catalogs, annual reports, brochures, newsletters, etc. Through this process, students become familiar with typographic techniques used to create professional-looking documents. Students are also introduced to using basic design and layout features such as white space, graphic elements, and color. Accuracy and creativity are essential as the students design and publish functional promotional materials. A professional portfolio containing sample projects is an integral part of the evaluation process.
