Graphic Design
I have typically connected real clients with my year-long students. The beginning of the first semester students complete a variety of design exercises that lead into the larger real-world projects later in the school year. Students work with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, and also keep their own blog. Graphic Design 3 students assist the school with promotional and marketing materials and compete in online logo designs. I desire to create as many real-world experiences as possible, to build maturity, character, presentation skills, professional connections and scholarship-worthy portfolios for students.
