Develops color photographic skills using current equipment and techniques using Adobe Photoshop. Encompasses color psychology and aesthetics as well as the physics of light in color photography. Color photographic theory will be emphasized. Appropriate presentation, software options, and sequencing of imagery are stressed, along with historical examples that provide background for understanding the medium.
REQUIRED SOFTWARE:
This class makes use of industry-standard Adobe software. Students will NOT be able to complete the coursework without the use of Adobe software. Only students enrolled in Visual Communications courses that use Adobe software have been assigned an Adobe license. Not all students will have the ability to access Adobe software at home. All Visual Communications labs are outfitted with the latest Adobe software. Review the IvyService & Support Knowledge Base article: How to Access Adobe Software at Home to learn how to access this software.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Please note that not every computer can run Adobe software. Verify your system can operate Adobe applications through the Adobe System Requirements website. We highly recommend computers with an Intel core processor, 64-bit support, 8GB of memory (16GB preferred), and a 250GB hard drive. All Visual Communications labs are outfitted with the minimum system requirements.
