Credit(s): 3
Lecture Hour(s): 3
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Lecture

Visualizing media is much more than just type and images on a page or website. Graphics reporting - researching and visualizing complex information and data so it’s accessible to audiences - requires an understanding of visual literacy, mastery of basic design principles, commitment to accuracy, and movement between creative and functional designs. In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Express, and some chart-based and/or open-source software. Students will demonstrate technical learning through a variety of deliverables, such as social media posts, photo editing, and digital and print layout designs.
