I have a writing class, which I am looking forward to since I love to write (and, ahem, haven't been writing much lately). I have a typography class where I understand I will be doing some calligraphy in addition to other stuff of the like. But the class I am a little nervous about is my Concept Design class. Here is a piece of the syllabus:
Course Description:
This course focuses on the creation of hard - edge computer - generated vector based artwork. Students will learn how to transpose original, hand - drawn artwork into electronic files for print using Adobe Illustrator as the primary software package.
Student Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course students should be able to:
1. Design and apply corporate graphic standards
2. Design logos that are distinctive, visible, adaptable, and memorable.
3. Produce as much shit as possible for portfolio.
4. Reproduce hand generated designs and illustrations using the chosen software program.
5. Navigate comfortably in the chosen software programs.
6. Verbalize the various menus and terminology.
As you can see, I have hi-lited #3. I hope I can do well here, especially since I will need to use those software programs which I am still uncertain and uncomfortable using.
If you are a religious person, pray for me. If you are not, cross your fingers for me and wish for the best.
I'll need it!

Hiya Vicki! This course sounds sort of intimidating to me. My prof preferred working in Photoshop because Illustrator has such a high learning curve. Have a prayer on me --- I'm sure you'll do okay. Keep us updated!
