GD 3010 - Photography for Graphic Designers

Credits: 3

This course prepares students to utilize photography with the primary purpose of creating dynamic and compelling images of products and people for advertising. Students become adept at using technology including the digital SLR (standard settings, manual overrides, and experimentation); understand lighting (both interior studio settings and exterior outdoor settings); facilitate between lens options (macro, specialty filters and wide angle); and learn the importance of a dynamic portfolio stage setting through appropriate documentation. Modest digital post production will be explored including industry standard software.
