CRDR-331: Photography for Art Direction

Photography is the current universal language. This course will explore the use of photography as a creative tool for designers, creative directors, and others who wish to increase their skills to engage photography and photographers in their vision. We will study the history of collaborative image making while adding camera assignments to better understand technical issues including lensing, lighting, layout, color, file management, and image manipulation. Our focus is on the skills needed to discern the quality of an image and to direct and create original and compelling photographic communications as opposed to formulaic stock imagery."
