Description
Digital Applications, will focus on the transition between analog and digital imaging processes and back with the help of the instructor. The semester’s focus will incorporate a synthesized approach, one that examines work and issues through the use of traditional printing disciplines and processes as vehicles for final prints, however, the starting point as image sources include the use of a computer, a camera, video and/or web based sources. Special emphasis will focus on the computer’s ability to assist in visualizing layers, separations, text, and prepress layout, as well as a creative imaging and idea generation source. An important component of this course is the integration of Post digital technology, ie. CNC routers, vinyl plotters laser engravers and inkjet plotters; such technology will demonstrate the inevitable crossover that occurs between fine art, photographic, design, publishing and digital methodologies.
