  • ddap courseDesktop publishing gets its name from the fact that at its inception it was done on a small PC like a MAC with a program set up to display in WYSIWYG (What you see iswhat you get)format. Early on desktop publishing was a huge step up from word processing as early word processors were very rudimentary in their scope of what they could do. Now the gap between the two has been closed in some respects.
    Desktop publishing covers a number of different areas and enables the person who masters it to produce everything from business cards and resumes to banners and gift cards. Just because a person is effective in the use of a particular desktop publishing software, does not necessarily mean they will create well designed work. The more a person learns about the concepts of effective layout and design the more effective they will be at utilizing software for desktop publishing. In this class we will primarily be utilizing Adobe InDesign as our software.

  • ddap courseGraphic Design is about visual communication.   Examples of graphic design appear in all kinds of mediums today.  The nike swoosh on a tennis shoe, the fancy web button that you use to access a particular page on a website,  or the label on your favorite carbonated beverage are all examples of effective graphic design.  Effective graphic design helps alleviate the clutter of visual mediums by guiding the eye or involving the mind in a way that makes less work for the intended audience.  The icons on your computer screen are examples of effective graphic design.  Have your ever thought how difficult your computer would be to operate if icons weren't present?  Effective graphic design helps society as a whole move a little easier.
