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 other media 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.
