Title: Welcome Announcement
Course: WILSON MC - INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER GRAPHICS HYBRID

Hello! Welcome to the Hybrid course for Introduction to Computer Graphics! I am happy you can join me on this beginning journey of blending the best of online assignments with essential one to one instruction for vector graphics.

We will be exploring the current professional standard which is Adobe Illustrator (CS6 - or CC.) It is imperative - actually required -  that you access to Illustrator on your own or are able to go to one of the NCTC labs where it is available, and, go frequently enough to complete the assigned material. It is an unacceptable excuse to fail to turn in an assignment due to no access to Illustrator.

You must also have the MyGraphicsLab registration code which is part of the Visual QuickStart for Illustrator CS6 book bundle. We will be leaning heavily on MGLab for the online portion of the course. Your weekly instruction will come in large part from the MGLab resources along with the chapters in the book. You will have a slide presentation, videos, and a quiz that you will need to complete all in MGLab. In addition there will be a weekly project chosen from the ones listed in MGLab. (This will be your choice of one of those listed.) So as you can see having MGLab is as important as having Illustrator!

The actual one on one classes will be to either demonstrate a technique (ie pen tool) and/or to refine skills for mastery. Hopefully you will learn a lot, or even more - if you already know some - and have a good time along the way.

Thanks for taking Intro to Computer Graphics!

Professor Wilson
