Graphic Design Principles 1
A foundation design and color theory, Graphic Design Principles 1, explores graphic communication from idea development to final execution. Through hands-on experiments, collaborative learning, and individual projects students will learn the language and process of design thinking and gain a solid foundation in design principles and practices that will be used throughout their career.
While studying the basic elements and principles of design, students develop visual literacy and a commitment to their practice by following a design process: Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver
Communication designers use the concepts explored in this course in disciplines such as advertising, graphic design, web design, illustration, broadcast design, photography, and game design.
Learning Community
This First Year Learning Community for COMD students taking COMD1100 & ENG1101 will include field trips, hands-on projects, and cross-sensory experiences to help you discover and express your creative vision. Students must be enrolled in both courses to complete the Learning Community.
Faculty: Jody Rosen (ENG1101) & Jenna Spevack (COMD1100)
First Year Learning Communities (FYLC) are two or more courses with the same students enrolled, linked with an interdisciplinary theme, providing an innovative way for students to learn and form bonds with the college. FYLC faculty work together and with peer mentors to highlight connections between disciplines, in addition to creating a more caring, consistent, and supportive environment. First year freshmen and transfer students, regardless of major, can choose to participate in learning communities. Activities include shared coursework, workshops, class trips, and events, often with other learning communities. This program aims to encourage stronger interactions between faculty and students, a vital aspect of college life that is often a challenge for students attending a large commuter college.
