This course will explore techniques in creating unique illustrations and the methods of their commercial use. Students will have a hands-on introductory experience while creating illustrations using traditional mediums (pen, ink, watercolor, gouache, paint and collage) and explore how these designs can be used in the commercial industry. The students will become acquainted with the computer as another tool in the creation process. We will apply our knowledge of illustration by creating character designs, surface/pattern design, typography, sequential storytelling and licensed products. Topics courses are 2 or 4 credit, in-depth thematic courses, that may be repeated for credit under a different theme. May be repeated up to two times for a maximum of 12 credits.
