Course Summary: Introduction to Digital Design and Visual Composition is a graphic design-based course. While I did take this course fully online, I was still able to learn how to journalistically tell a story using all elements of design. During the course, we dove in-depth on layout, data visualization, web/mobile design, basic coding, interactives, social media, and basic animation. My skills on planning and designing graphics for all environments (social, digital, and print) were able to reach new levels in this course and followed me to the next graphics chapter of my life. I mainly used Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator during this course. Since I had a strong foundation of these programs beforehand, this course gave me the opportunity to continue to learn new techniques and further develop my skillset.
