Looking to launch your career
in the exciting field of Web design? The Foundation Certificate program focuses on the fundamental technical and aesthetic skills required for this challenging field.
As a student, you'll gain proficiency in the software programs that every Web designer needs to know: Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Flash. You'll learn how to create digital images and animations, and
build standards-compliant Web sites using either HTML/CSS hand-coding or Web editing programs.
Hands-on projects focus on essential skills and provide experience in professional Web design project scenarios. Class assignments include digital retouching and compositing, XHTML page markup, CSS-based layout and typography, home page and navigation design, Flash graphics and animations, mouseover effects, competitive analysis, site maps, wireframes, mood boards, color palettes, blog layout, and portfolio site design.
Seeking inspiration? It's included. Get critique, feedback, and mentoring from an industry-leading faculty throughout your program. Draw on a resourceful student services team for advisement and support. Watch your portfolio of work evolve on your MyGallery page and network with peers in the student community DesignSessions.
