Language & Communication - Introduction to eBook Cover Art Design

Students will explore the creative and artistic process of brainstorming, developing and implementing GIMP techniques to create eBook covers. Emphasis will be given to the generation of raw material, becoming familiar with the basic tools of GIMP, layering images for a solution design and formatting image types and sizes for clients. Students should download GIMP for at-home practice. All handouts will be sent electronically to students prior to each class. Please bring paper and pen to each class for notes.
