Graphic Illustration is a one-credit course that provides students with experiences and instruction in
object and information design. Students apply the elements of design and sharpen visual
communication skills. They design projects, allowing them to manipulate and demonstrate mastery of
these skills. Topics of study include architecture, interior design, fashion illustrations, computer and
hand drawings, exploration of software, package design, typography, and digital photography. Skills
developed in these areas prepare students for the final course in the sequence, Portfolio/Studio. Desktop
Publishing is the prerequisite for Graphic Illustration.
