In this course, students will learn to give layouts a clear identity and a strong visual hierarchy through visual and typographic relationships. They will work conceptually with semiotics and learn how type and image combine in the creation of meaning. Students will learn to adapt visual style, layout, and messaging across different formats and will also develop an understanding of how composition shifts across different media. While working through these concepts, students will continue to develop proficiency in Adobe CC software.
