Graphic Design 2 – 0864CP / 0864H Grades 10 – 12 1 Credit Full Year
Graphic Design 2 is a course that builds on the foundational skills and knowledge developed in Graphic Design 1. This course aligns with the Massachusetts Visual Art Standards and Studio Habits of Mind, emphasizing critical and creative thinking, effective communication, and collaboration. The Graphic Design 2 curriculum includes advanced design techniques, ethics and social implications of design decisions, and challenging real-world design projects. The course is project-based and assesses students' ability to apply design principles, digital tools, and strategic thinking, resulting in a portfolio of work and preparation for further study or careers in digital media or business and marketing. Much like Graphic Design 1, in this course students are provided with full year licenses for the industry standard software packages Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
