Burr and Burton Academy Graphic Design
Students in Graphic Design learn the basic foundations of design and design thinking through a series of visual
projects that explore the principles and elements of good design. Students will work with Industry standard software, Adobe Creative Suite as they explore two-dimensional and three-dimensional
design projects. A major focus of the course is to develop students’ abilities to think creatively and generate good ideas. They will also develop manual as well as digital drawing, illustration,
and layout techniques. Projects may include, but are not limited to the creation of logos, posters, ads, magazine spreads, information graphics, book covers and websites. Students will build and
maintain an e-portfolio, which will contain all of their completed assignments, projects and reflections for each.
