Publication Design
Instructors: Gary Lundgren, Sherri Taylor
Publication Design is an intense course in combining type and image for effective storytelling. Instructors will cover packaging for storytelling, typography for readability and creativity, and effective use of visuals and color usage as ways to bring great coverage alive through strong design. Students will produce a feature coverage package for the publication they will work for in the fall. This is an advanced course and students should have a solid knowledge of InDesign.
SUPPLIES: Computer with InDesign. Students should bring copies of the publication they will work on starting in the fall, along with a couple of their favorite print or digital magazines or other publications, and a pen and notebook or digital device for taking notes. In addition to bringing a small archive with a variety of photos (sports, feature, student life), students should also have a thumb drive or portable hard drive to store and transfer images.
