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.
