The campers will be introduced to a history of graphic design as well as current-day trends in design. Focusing on graphic designs impetus to web applications, such as wire-framing, visualizing UI-UX possibilities, still imagery editing and an in-depth understanding of the tools of Photoshop. Through a critique based evaluation of projects, students will learn how to be perceptive to the principles of design, which will become a basis for further development when they graduate from the program. This Camp assumes no prior knowledge of computer-aided graphic design.
