GAT-145 - Introduction to Graphic Art Computer

2 credits

This introductory course begins students with the basic functions of the graphic arts computer, including how to understand computer specifications, hardware components, the history of the PC industry & the Internet, and popular graphic arts software applications. In the LABs, students learn step-by-step basic Macintosh computer functions used in all current applications, such as creating and saving files, reading and selecting from menus, disk operations, file management, backing up files, use of the Internet, and printing. This is a beginner course; therefore, students will work with self-paced tutorials being Adobe InDesign software, and receive constant instruction from the Professor. (Keep in mind that the computer is only a tool; learning it does not make you a designer.)
