Graphic Design 1 - beginner
The Graphics Design 1 class is designed for students interested in the art of digital graphics, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, and Dreamweaver. In this year long class students will learn about the elements and principals of design, color theory, typography, layout, branding, and creating a clear message that reaches your desired audience in the way that you intended. Students will create projects that are not only instructional but allow them to create portfolio pieces that can be added to their online web site for the class. To access the lessons, tutorials, and projects just click on the lesson links to the left.
The Class Portfolio will display a page of portfolio links to projects completed by students and websites of student portfolios from the current year and previous years. I have tried to showcase outstanding work that provides a good cross section of projects that have been completed through the use of this class or website. 
There are many resources that have been used to create this class. You can access these resources by clicking on the tutorials link at the top or by clicking on the links below. Here you will find numerous links to tutorials that I have created as well as websites with useful information or free resources for you to use in your design projects.
