Graphic Design Greatness

One thing people normally think about graphic design is ‘Oh yeah, you only create posters and drawings all the time’ but let me explain to you what this class really is. When I had my first class, I was happily surprised. Nobody was using any pencil or paint. Instead, they were using Photoshop, a very powerful digital tool capable of letting you create or design the craziest ideas you have in your mind.

My first assignment was about typography. Typography is the design of the letters to impact the audience and catch their attention. Typography is everywhere. You can see it in many manifestations, in a school ?s shield, in a publicity announcement.

This class is for people who want to discover a completely different and modern art. It is for people who want to see the adaption of arts to the modern era. This class is for people who believe in the power of art.

The teacher, Ms Luna, is an enthusiastic, empathic teacher you can trust and ask anything of. She teaches you a lesson that sometimes is as important as learning math or science. She teaches you how to adapt, learn and retry from the error. To never surrender and, no matter how many times you fail, she will always be there to give you her help. This is perfect for a class as creative and “crazy” as this class needs to be.  

Another big advantage about this program is how useful this is for you in the future. Universities look for people who know how to use these computer programs. It is also very useful for learning and comprehending computer language. The number of jobs for which you need to know about computer programs is increasing every year.

This is a creative, useful and fun class in which you will learn practical and social skills.
