COMM263

Building on the skills developed in Fundamentals of Interactive Media, students in Photography for Designers will make photographs that are technically and conceptually sophisticated in the context of visual communication design. They will use visual metaphor and analogy to communicate visual ideas, creating images that will be used in courses going forward through the major. Output for web sites, print publication and visual identity will be considered. Students will study for use of metaphor in still life, portraiture, and editorial illustration. Throughout the semester, students will refine their image-making skills by completing a series of technical exercises and creative assignments, culminating in a final creative portfolio and project. Use of a digital SLR camera is required. Students can borrow cameras from the school or provide their own.
