Attention High School Students! Interested in Graphic Design? Woodbury University is offering a FREE intro workshop this summer. You can even earn college credit! I know summer is far away, but it’s never too early to plan for the future, especially if you can score some free college credit. The Introduction to Graphic Design workshop runs from June 8 – August 12, 2010 and is two days a week (Tuesday and Thursday) from 4 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. After attending this workshop, students will become familiar with digital tools and terminology, basic typography, and concept sketching. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are two of the most popular and powerful graphic design applications on the market today and a requirement for anyone serious about a career in the design field.

This intensive 10-week (3 unit) course will familiarize students with the fundamentals needed to begin to create their own artwork and projects. This is a perfect introductory course both for students planning on pursuing a degree in design as well as anyone inspired to learn how to design on the computer. Students learn though a combination of lectures, hands-on training and by doing real-life design projects!
