Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Limited to 12 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: None

Learn how to create graphics and interactive media using software tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Unity3D. This workshop introduces principles and techniques for visual communication and provides opportunities to acquire practical skills in the digital visual arts, including, but not limited to: designing raster and vector graphics; storyboarding a game; creating 3D game objects; and scripting a graphical user interface and interactions. The focus will be on experiential learning, therefore participants will learn primarily by producing their own creative work. In addition, the instructors will demo in detail the production workflows of advanced educational games and will provide resources for further learning following the workshop.
