Are you Looking to Learn Graphic Design?
The Interactive Media Arts (IMA) program at Five Towns College offers a challenging, idea-driven environment that teaches students skills in graphic design and other related technologies.
Students pursuing this degree will learn how to apply digital design tools and the language of creativity to continually develop their portfolios and learn how to work collaboratively in creative professions.
Areas of Focus
Students will be exposed to the tools and techniques necessary to translate ideas into tangible, visual images. This process begins with exploring the aesthetic, formal, and conceptual properties of an idea, and then translating them onto a two-dimensional plane.
Students will learn the skills necessary to understand the complexities of creating computer generated imagery in motion using layered visual elements. The ability to manipulate visual digital elements in time is a core competency that students interested in a career in graphic design should master. Students will distinguish types of digital visual element, the format they are housed in and how this format affects how they are composited together to tell a visual story. Students will develop skills capable of synthesizing layered composites to allow for their creative imaginations to take hold.
Students will learn the fundamental building blocks to develop the core competencies of Interactive Computer Graphic programing. Using a programing language that was designed from its inception to be used by artists allows students to start down the path of being computational visual designers with a solid foundation in the world of programing for Interactive Computer Graphics.
