Summer School 2023
Welcome! Digital Design is the placement of information so that the reader/customer is drawn to the information and takes appropriate action (for example, the advertisement entices potential customers to try the product). This is a fun and challenging class where you will be learning the following Adobe Creative Cloud programs – Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. We will work at a fast pace with less than 2 weeks in each program.
