| Description (ECIAD) | Editorial designers are often in-demand for their
unique skill at distilling and presenting content
in a variety of media. From printed publications
to digital reports, or corporate presentations to
online marketing materials, editorial designers
lay out content for impactful consumption. In this
project-focused course, explore editorial layout
and content for print and digital applications
such as books, websites and social media. Learn to
identify and display content with effective visual
hierarchy and conceptual art direction no matter
the format. Use various design software
synchronously to achieve effective layouts, adjust
images and graphics, and prepare final files for
press/output methods. While this course includes
some software demonstration, prior experience with
Adobe CC is required.
