VAR-4001 Design Communication
This course focuses on the creative and technical skills needed to create exciting and effective title sequences, spot advertisements, and film animations. Through in-class lectures, screening examples, and hands-on practice and design, students learn to create title sequences for film and TV, and short film/video animations. This class primarily uses Adobe's Premiere and After Effects, as well as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for in-class exercises and projects. Emphasis is placed on design aesthetics and understanding the importance of sequential storyboarding needed to arrive at the finished product. Students should have familiarity with the MAC operating system, Photoshop, and Illustrator. (Old #: DES4001)
