COMS 482 draws on beginning level Communication Studies courses such as Graphic Design, Advanced Graphic Design, and Basic Photography as well as other courses. This course will cover several topics including digital media, design concepts, and site management for large scale web development. Use of digital media and authoring programs must be guided by intelligent design, including typographic design, graphic design, and user interface design. Each week assignments and readings will accompany class lessons. These assignments are designed to consolidate concepts and to promote skill competencies.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class.
A student who presents the professor with an adequate and documented reason for an absence will be given the opportunity to make up missed work, when feasible. Students are permitted not more than one absence. Because of the nature of the course your prompt attendance and heartfelt participation in the process is important. Attendance will be taken during the first five minutes of class. Lateness will be considered an absence unless the students notifies the instructor of their presence.
