Emphasis will be placed on design, conceptualization and the ability to communicate ideas and work collaboratively. Students will learn the language and principles of graphic design by developing a method for solving design problems, communicating ideas effectively, and creating professional motion design such as title credits, logo animations, and music and experimental videos that can be integrated into film, live performance or web. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and video editing software will be used. Recommended prerequisite: experience in animation, film and video production, or graphic design.
