Graphic Design and Communications2-Year ProgramPlattsburgh
This program is actually two programs in one. Learn the basics of layout and design, desktop publishing, and computer graphics while working as teams on practical projects such as holiday cards, booklets and posters. Students will also become proficient in printing and reproduction through fundamental print and bindery operations.
The program covers the basics of the SLR digital camera, angles/distances, lighting, photo emphasis and all of the different camera settings. These techniques and skills are used by the students to produce photo ID badges, develop 12 month calendars, and the CV-TEC Yearbook.
