For this course we be making use of lynda.com & Graphic Design The New Basics, by Ellen Lupton.

As students at RWU you all have unlimited access to the  Lynda.com online training library. Click here to log into the Lynda.com training library, you use your school email user name (the part before the @) and your chosen password. You may also need to select academics under the domain setting (see bellow).

To get things started I recommend you to watch chapter one of Illustrator CC 2015 One-on-One: Fundamentals with Deke McClellan. We will be cover the basics and beyond in class, but you will not be able fully ingest the required technical information exclusively in the class room. The videos will go into much greater detail than we have time in class and you can watch them at your own pace and over and over again. So cancel your subscription to Netflixs, HBO Now, Amazon Prime, Hulu or whatever other video streaming service your addicted to and tune into Lynda.com. Besides the new season of Game of Thrones won’t be out until next summer.
