This program provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge required to create graphics and Flash animations for the web, and to plan and design compelling interactive websites. It provides in-depth knowledge of how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver and Notepad to create webpages. In addition, the program introduces students to HTML and JavaScript programming, and, thereby, provides them with a great degree of control over the appearance of their websites and skills that are in demand by web design companies. Students also gain skills and experience in using industry standard graphics programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Macromedia Fireworks, to create, edit, and optimize graphics for the web.
Recent studies indicate that strong growth in web design jobs, particularly in the consulting sector, is expected over the next few years. Careers that correspond with the skills learned in this program include Flash animation developer, Flash developer, graphic designer, HTML programmer, JavaScript programmer, web consultant, and web producer. |
