| Description: | The introduction of the internet brought forth an opportunity for graphic designers to use their creative talents online. A web designer works on the client-side and is involved in the graphical presentation (look-and-feel) of a web site. Web designers are not expected to program or maintain a web site’s database; rather they are involved in the visual presentation of a site using multimedia tools. They are in charge of a graphical layout, animation and the interactivity of a web site.
This program prepares students with an integrated approach to web site design. Instruction is provided in client-side web site design techniques and management procedures through converging theoretical concepts and practical applications. Areas of study include internet and e-business concepts, hypertext markup languages (HTML 5), a scripting language such as JavaScript™, and web graphic software such as Photoshop® and Dreamweaver®. Note: This program is offered in flex-ed format, and includes an eight week-long internship. |
