Intro to Graphics Software introduces students to the fundamental concepts and techniques of typography and graphic design. Students will explore the principles of design—such as balance, contrast, alignment, repetition, and hierarchy—to create visually effective layouts that attract intended audiences and communicate clear messages.
Through hands-on projects, students will learn to use various graphic design software programs to produce digital designs for print and online media. Emphasis is placed on organization, creativity, and purposeful design choices that result in professional-quality work.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will have the opportunity to earn an Industry Recognized Credential (IRC), helping prepare them for future coursework, career pathways, and opportunities in graphic design, marketing, media, and related fields.
This course is ideal for students interested in creativity, visual communication, and technology-driven design careers.
Prerequisites for this course include the successful completion of Introduction to Business.
