ILL-450: Adv Surface Dsgn Digital Print

New technologies have allowed the illustrator to evolve their work onto the tactile printed surface. The opportunity digital printing presents is enormous, and it is incumbent upon the illustrator to learn the mathematics and design of patterns as well as the programs needed to execute them. In this course, students will experiment with the principles and complexities of pattern, developing knowledge of the correct ratios and proportions necessary for the successful application of a completed surface design. Students will also gain the skills necessary to produce client-ready files for production. Throughout the course, the inspiring study of the globally influential visual vocabulary of California Modernism will inform students' design portfolio.
