Computer Graphics Design School

INTRODUCTION

A majority of today’s Businesses require the expertise of graphic artists - whether in-house, freelance or through agencies -  to create anything from simple company logos to advertising requirements in the web, print and audio visual presentations. This program will harness the artistic potential of students in sketching, illustration and story boarding, pushing it to the next level by introducing state-of-the-art graphic design software in Adobe, 3D  animation and effects tools to mold the art professional of tomorrow. 

Basically the Computer Graphics Design course provided by CIIT focuses more on the discipline of "still-arts" like sketching, painting, photography, typography, layout, etc. The course also allows students who have much interested in the arts to finally transition from traditional mediums to digital hence Computer Graphics. Subjects like Elements of Graphics Design focuses more on introduction to design elements that would apply to both traditional and digital format while subjects like Graphics Illustration II would take a step further and remove the traditional pencil or charcoal from the students and replace it with a digital pen. Photography that is very much an art of its own is now blended with subjects like Web Design & Publishing that would allow students to really apply the photographs and mix it with different art forms like vector illustrations or in creating advertisements.
