Publication Layout and Design (CMPT 1441)

This course will further the student’s understanding of Adobe Creative Suite and its application in design and layout of covers, brochures, books, magazines, newsletters, and other multi-page publications. The goal of the course is to design a publication of eight or more pages and produce it to a format adequate for printing as well as for online viewing. Students are encouraged to bring a personal project and all its materials (text and images) for the first day of class; otherwise text and images will be provided by the instructor. The six sessions will cover basic design and layout strategies for multi-page documents, as well as the principles of printing.
