Course Guide
GRAPHIC DESIGN COURSE GUIDE
Intro to Graphic Design-IGD, Graphic Design Production-GDP, and Advanced Graphic Design-AGD
During this semester you will have to work hard, but you’ll have fun in this “work setting,” make some pretty cool projects, and be provided with an opportunity to learn the skills necessary to break into this ever-changing hi-tech business of Graphic Design.
SAFETY
Your personal safety is the most critical aspect of any function you perform in this lab. There is dangerous equipment and supplies in this lab, which, if not used properly, can severely hurt you. During the safety unit we will cover many aspects of safety; however, here are a few of the safety guidelines we will be adhering to:
ABSOLUTELY NO HORSEPLAY in the graphic arts lab!
Food, candy, gum, and drinks are to be consumed in the cafeteria ONLY
When in doubt on a procedure, ask your instructor!
No matter how small, let the instructor know about an injury!
No one is to be in the lab area unless working on a specific project or assignment!
No loose clothing, jewelry, or loose long hair when operating equipment!
Eye protection must be worn when handling chemicals, using pressure washer and pressurized air!
PROFESSIONALISM
When you come to class you will be reporting to “work.” As you would with a job, be prepared, maintain an attitude of respect towards others, yourself and your instructor at all times. Just like a real job, there is to be no “sleeping on the job.” You must be prepared with a pencil or pen and a single subject notebook for class each day! Please refrain from any PDA (public display of affection) while you are in class. Copyright Law – any logo, artwork or printed material that is copyrighted may not be reproduced in our lab. This is your opportunity to create all your own “original work.”
GRADING SYSTEM
The projects, written assignments, tests, performance evaluations, employability skills and lab work are all based on the point system. It’s pretty simple - You don’t do the work, you don’t get the points!
Class work = 10%, Content Reading = 10%, Content Writing = 10%, Employability = 10%, Tests = 10%, Quizzes = 10%, Projects = 20%, Final Project 10%, Final Exam = 10% TOTAL = 100%
• Make up policy follows what is written in the Pebblebrook Student Handbook.
• 10% is deducted for work received after the deadline. Please complete work on time!
• Employability is a weekly grade given for participation and being a good employee.
MAKEUP POLICY
As a professional, it is your responsibility to find out the missing assignments and complete them on time. If you have an excused absence, you will be granted as many days as you were excused to complete the assignment. If an assignment comes in late without being excused, for each day the assignment is late, 10% will be deducted.
DISCIPLINE
Any student who willfully defies any of the lab rules, safety rules, or reacts in an unprofessional, inappropriate or disrespectful manner will be subject to detentions, administrator referrals, and/or further disciplinary action.
DAILY GRADES
Each day you are given an “employability” grade. You earn these points by being a good “employee”. The grade is based on the following criteria: cleaning your assigned workstation each day, being punctual, dependable, adhering to lab and classroom rules, being cooperative, showing initiative, displaying respect towards others, the equipment, and your instructor. One of the most important aspects of your performance is your ATTITUDE
ABSENCE/TARDIES
Unexcused absences will have an impact on your “employability” grade. Any unexcused tardy will result in disciplinary actions, as highlighted in the Pebblebrook handbook. The only way to make up these lost points is to do extra credit work over and above your requirements. This work can only be given by the instructor, and is reserved for special circumstances.

PROJECTS
Due dates of all assignments and projects will be posted on the board. All projects are to be placed in the metal box on my computer table unless they do not fit. In that case, they are to be placed in the “Projects to be graded” box. If you did not receive a grading sheet with your project, then your project was NOT graded!

Welcome Back / What is graphic design?
Welcome back to school
Read the article below so you can get an idea of what a graphic designer does:
A graphic designer or graphic artist conveys information through visual solutions that promote or enhance a service, product, philosophy or entity. Graphic design is a professional umbrella term for a skill set that can be applied to a wide range of positions. A good graphic designer has strong interpersonal and marketing skills, in addition to a keen eye and an adept knowledge of electronic media packages.
Graphic artists work with a variety of materials, including film media, animation, sound, images, illustration, type, color, and “white space.” The first step of any project is to identify the needs of the client. The designer must also consider the target market, taking social or cultural considerations into account. The process normally starts with a hand-drawn or electronic sketch of the layout, followed by a mockup presented for approval. A mockup that is attractive but fails to convey the proper message or serve the needs of the product in some way will be rejected.
In a small “Mom and Pop” business, duties of a graphic designer might be limited to designing flyers, informational pamphlets, product catalogs and advertisements. Creating a distinctive logo would also fall to the graphic designer. A graphic designer in a large company normally meets with department heads or clients to get a complete understanding of the expectations associated with any assigned project. He or she will also commonly consult with printers or publishers to identify the best choice of paper, cover stocks, and printing processes.
