FD102

This semester long course introduces students to the fundamentals of digital imaging as a tool for design. Students develop the use of line, shape, value, mass, texture and pattern and learn to apply this knowledge to achieve certain effects: harmony, contrast, balance, symmetry, rhythm, movement, perspective and space illusion. These concepts will be explored through the three basic types of applications used in contemporary digital design: vector programs, raster (bitmapped) programs and to a lesser extent, page layout programs.
