These classses include GRC 107, 109 and 110; the three classes teach students basics of design, color theories and the idea of composition, as well as basic drawing skills. Once these classes are complete students must take GRC 118, and 119; 118 is a course that will teach students how to use Photoshop, Illustartor and InDesign (this course is print oriented); 119 is a course that will teach students Flash animation, Premiere (video editing) and the basics of Dreamweaver, this class is an introduction to animation and web design.
