Course Description
The purpose of this course is to provide students with an understanding of computer-based design and multimedia production. The course will cover basic concepts in the areas of graphic design, animation, and designing for interactivity. These concepts will help prepare students for more advanced studies in 2D and 3D animation and in multimedia production and programming. Course work will be based around several large ongoing projects built incrementally as individual homework assignments. These projects will be presented via the World Wide Web and should demonstrate an understanding of techniques and principles learned in earlier projects. Student interaction and collaboration will be encouraged through in-class activities as well as online discussions through SPARK.
