ILUS 208 - SU91: Illustration Process: Topics
Design for Illustration
Design for Illustration is developed especially for illustration students, providing them with a comprehensive introduction to basic design concepts and strategies.
This course teaches design through the application of both analogue and digital methods of design, with an emphasis on Adobe Creative Suite (students are not expected to be familiar with Adobe software prior to taking this class). Over the term, we will learn foundational communication design skills by applying them to print and screen projects. Skills we will develop include colour management and reproduction, effective project presentation, and layout.
Students will leave this class with a better understanding of how their practice intersects with the field of design, including publishing and packaging, as well as how to produce, print, and present illustrated design projects. The course will also help students develop strategies to plan and manage their own projects in future classes and freelance projects. Over the course of the term, we will complete three projects designed to enhance each student’s portfolio, while showcasing their illustration skills and strengths.
