Design elements are powerful tools for reaching your audience. The objective of this course is to help you understand how to use the fundamental visual tools of communication in your work, and to learn how to evaluate visual communication pieces you encounter in everyday life. Examples of design elements that we will explore are type, color, format, images, text, pacing and sequencing. We will learn how to use these together to successfully communicate a portfolio of documented design work. This course is required for all ID sophomores.
