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.
