JOUR 2720

(3 Credits) 3 Lecture hours (formerly JOUR 3720) Visualizing media is much more than just type and images on a page or website. Graphics reporting - researching and visualizing complex information and data so it's accessible to audiences - requires an understanding of visual literacy, mastery of basic design principles, commitment to accuracy, and movement between creative and functional designs. In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Spark, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and some open-source software. Students will demonstrate technical learning through a variety of deliverables, such as social media posts, photo editing, and digital and print layout designs. Section information text: Department Approval required for students who have declared the minor. Major Restrictions will be removed no later than August 1, 2024.
