InDesign Level 1 - 5 week evening class
9/25/17 - 10/23/17 - Fall Quarter
If you work on projects that involve ink on paper, chances are Adobe InDesign will play a major role in the design and production. Now considered the standard software for page layout, InDesign is the tool of choice for designers who create catalogs, brochures, magazines, and even full-length books. But InDesign isn’t limited to just print. As you’ll learn in this class, this versatile program can also be used to design and create interactive documents, digital magazines, and eBooks.
Photoshop Level 1 - 5 week evening class
9/26/17 - 10/24/17 - Fall Quarter
There are now 30 different desktops apps in the latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud. But let’s say you only had time to learn one. It wouldn’t even be a contest. The app you’ll use whether you do print or web projects, work in design or production, or if you’re an amateur or a pro, is Photoshop. This true industry standard for image editing and compositing is a “must-know” and know it you will after this introductory-level course.
Adobe Photoshop - Beyond the Basics
Oct 25, 2017
If you’ve used Photoshop for more than about an hour, you’ve probably figured out some cumbersome and weird, but effective ways of getting stuff done. And you probably have told yourself, “one of these days I’m going to find out how to do this the right/easy way.” Well, that time has come to spend one day learning the most used and abused Photoshop processes. The few hours of learning you’ll do in this workshop will easily turn into hundreds of hours of time saved and projects that look better.
Illustrator - Building Infographics
May 17, 2017
Infographics are a great, fast, fun way to communicate complex ideas. And, they have the added bonus of being a type of image that people love to share over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media. While many designers feel comfortable coming up with infographic concepts and designs, getting them built is another matter. Streamlining that part of the process is exactly the point of this one-day workshop.
