New Summer Course! DESIGN FOR NON-DESIGNERS

<p> SUMMER SESSION 1<br /> 31750 ARTS 395<br /> MONDAY through THURSDAY<br /> 6:00&ndash;9:45 pm<br /> <br /> This course will explore the practical&mdash;and pleasurable&mdash;aspects of creating graphic design work&nbsp;in occasional, everyday situations of necessity and desire. The focus will be on crafting simple,&nbsp;effective and engaging fliers, brochures, posters, invitations &mdash; and more &mdash; on short deadlines,&nbsp;tight budgets, limited resources and common software (such as Microsoft&nbsp;Word) or without software! The class will cover essential concerns of imagery, typography,&nbsp;layout, printing and distribution, plus providing a useful and informative background on graphic&nbsp;design history and practice. Time permitting; we might also (lightly) explore web application.&nbsp;Participants are invited to bring actual design projects to develop and will have opportunities for&nbsp;some graphic play. Pre-requisite: English 110C or permission of the instructor. This course can&nbsp;be used for those selecting Option D (except for students majoring in the Arts and Humanities). <em>Ideal for staff, faculty, and administrators!</em><br /> <br /> Instructed by Kenneth FitzGerald, Professor of Art in Graphic Design at ODU, self-taught designer (BFA Ceramics, MFA&nbsp;Design) with 30 years experience in professional design, author of Volume: Writings on&nbsp;Graphic Design, Music, Art, and Culture (Princeton Architectural Press).<br /> &nbsp;</p>
