    This course uses the current version of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CC software to demonstrate concepts, tools, and working methods common to many computer graphic programs.
    While it is not required, if you wish to work on your assignments on a home computer/laptop, you will need to purchase a student subscription from Adobe Creative Cloud. Your computer will also need to meet Adobe's system requirements. This software is not required for this class because a campus digital media lab is available for student use outside class hours. Purchasing information will be available in Canvas when the course starts or by contacting the instructor and is expected to cost $19.99 per month.
