Students may also be introduced to Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator programs to compliment work done with Photoshop. Projects will be diverse, sometimes requiring students to shoot or collect photographic images while, at other times, they may use the program as a tool for painting and beginning from scratch. Some projects will bebased on artistic and creative expression, while others will be based on the principles of graphic design.
