What will you do and learn in this class?
What will you do and learn in this class?
How graphic design is used in marketing and advertising.
How to design for a target audience.
How brands use color, typography, imagery, and layout to create a strong visual identity.
How to create professional social media graphics, ads, merchandise, flyers, and other marketing materials in Adobe Express.
How to develop your own ideas, improve designs, and make smart creative choices.
How real designers work — from planning and creating to revising, presenting, and building a portfolio.
The goal is not just to make things look good — it’s to make designs that communicate and have a purpose.
Also...
We will be building the Titan Yearbook, so some of you will do some photography, some will do interviews, some will build the pages with templates in Express.
How this class works
How this class works
Class info slides for first day HERE.
Most projects in Commercial Art 3 will follow the same basic routine:
Get the project directions from the class website.
Create your design in Adobe Express.
Open the Express Classroom assignment.
Add your finished work to the provided workbook/portfolio.
Answer the project questions.
Screenshot and include your grading rubric.
Work on the MIX project if you get done early (more info on that later).
Submit everything through Adobe Express Classroom.
The routine will stay pretty consistent throughout the year, so once you learn the system, you will know exactly where to go, what to do, and how to turn in your work.
