Digital Design Series

Web Design
Pennsylvania College of Art & Design’s Digital Design Series in Web teaches students the basic principles of design and composition essential to effective design for the Web. This series of design courses provides students with training on the software programs used to create Web sites for businesses, family, friends, or themselves.

Students begin with the same Design Principles/Typography course that print students take, laying the foundation for all future design work done on the computer. Adobe Photoshop is introduced so that students will learn to scan and enhance images.

Critical to all Web design projects, students will learn the basics of hyper text markup language (HTML) in addition to learning Adobe Dreamweaver, the most popular editor for building Web sites.

Skills and competencies students gain through this program include how to design and build a Web site and how to scan, store, and protect images for use on the Web.
