How to Be a Graphic Designer without Losing Your Soul

COURSE DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this class we will review, discuss and participate in the professional practice of a graphic designer. Our umbrella topics are: Professional Ethics + Standards, Business Practices + Tactics, & Pre-Press Production Techniques + Concerns. We will accomplish this by: reading, reflecting in writing, and discussing: How To Be A Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul, AIGA Online Resources (and other material we find along the way) / by getting our hands dirty with a project that takes us from project brief to final production / and by taking exciting field trips that include Printing Presses and Portland design studios and agencies!
