Description:
Not
for the squeamish, this is a very fast-paced advanced level computer
course in which the Islander yearbook is designed, published, and sold.
Students work under stress while mastering the publishing fundamentals
with PageMaker 6.0, PhotoShop 5.5, digital cameras, scanners, and clip art
programs. Students also learn fundamentals of ad design while working with
parents and community businesses. Extra hours are required outside of
class, especially at deadline
time. |
