what is this class about?

What is this class about?

It is about the technologies that are a necessary part of visual communications.

In the world of visual communications a message is created, usually with two main elements - words and images.

To be effective, this message must be powerful and compelling. It should not only attract a viewer's attention, but engage the viewer in the content of the message and then motivate the viewer to act or think a certain way.

A digital artist, as the creator or designer of a visual communication, must not only possess creative imagination, but must be able to control how the communication looks when it is viewed.

In the digital world, that control requires knowledge and skills connected to the technologies used in this creative process.

This class is about acquiring this knowledge and applying those skills correctly.

Let's look at the evolution of a magazine ad.

• What was the first step in its creation?
• How was the image (photo) created?
• What was the color mode of the photo?
• What is probably the next thing that happened to the photo?
• What was the resolution of the photo?
• What file format was used to save the file?
• What application added the words?
• Was the color mode the same as the original photo?
• What file format was used to save the file ?
• What file format was used to send the file to the client for approval?
• Was the resolution of the client's file the same as the original photo?
• What do you do and/or say if the client says, "The colors are not right!"
• How was the file sent to the printing company?
• How do you know the correct file format and resolution for the printing company?
• Does the file format and resolution change if the ad will be viewed on-line?

• Understand the concepts.

• Know where to go for what you forget or don't know.

Remember..........Only NSCC students are permitted in this classroom. Friends and children are not permitted.
