Synopsis

Students  will  be introduced to basic principles of design  including
placement  of elements and use of colour.  Hardware and software  used
for  computer  acquisition and production of text and images  will  be
examined  and  used  to  produce  a  variety  of  materials.    Design
principles will be applied in the use of computer based tools such  as
artistic graphics, desktop publishing and presentation tools.   Design
factors important in the development of computer based systems will be
examined with emphasis on approaches to human-computer interfaces  and
application of design criteria to the evaluation of computer software.
