DMA101 images with a computer and scanner, as well as study basic concepts of digital imaging/digital photography. This leads to an understanding of the requirements for achieving image quality as it applies to screen display (world wide web) or for printed output. Prerequisite: C T 125 or C T 122. (Previously CT 105LT or CT 120LT) 2.33 5.67 2.33
DMA102 This course concentrates on raster imaging as it pertains to digital photography. A survey of digital still cameras and other hybrid imaging devices, and the preparation of imagery for print via color management procedures are also covered. 5.67 11.33 5.67
DMA165 to the computer as an image-making device using raster-imaging software (Adobe Photoshop). It includes the making and manipulating of images derived from photography and other traditional media. Included also is the digital preparation of imagery for printed and display (Web) output. Prerequisite: DMA 101 and ( C T 125 or C T 122). (Previously CT 105LT or CT 120LT) 11.33 18.00 34.00
DMA166 This course is an introduction to the computer as an image-making device using vector-imaging software (Adobe Illustrator). It includes the creation and manipulation of digital imagery derived from traditional graphic design, including typography and illustration graphics. Students will design logo art and other projects aimed for printed and screen display. Prerequisite: DMA 101 and ( C T125 or C T 122). (Previously CT 105LT or CT 120LT)
DMA168 Students who have introductory experience in Photoshop concentrate making imagery that requires the use of selection tools, masks, alpha channels, layers and blending modes. Such examples include selective alterations to individual images and multiple-image montage. While photography is the most common source material for these techniques, students are also encouraged to use these Photoshop techniques for digital painting and printmaking. Prerequisite: DMA 165.
DMA175 This course concentrates on raster imaging as it pertains to digital photography. A survey of digital still cameras and other hybrid imaging devices, the preparing of imagery for print via color management procedures, and immersive Imaging are included in this course. This course also advances techniques and issues introduced in DMA 165. Prerequisite: DMA 165.

DMA203 Introduction to Desktop Publishing software and page design concepts on the personal computer. Topics: importing files, interaction with word processor/text editor, creating/using style sheets, editing/manipulating text, simple graphics, and desktop publication. Cross-listed as C T 203. Prerequisite: C T 125 or C T 122. (Previously CT 105LT or CT 120LT) 1.67 11.33 5.00
DMA240 This course serves as an introduction to digital video (with audio) and its unique aesthetic criteria. This class' focus is the creation and use of video projects for integration into interactive projects, either for a single participant or for mass Internet presentations, or for the creation of a standalone project.
DMA250 This course will introduce tools for making interactive multi-media projects in combination with animation (moving image). It will focus on design issues relative to non-linear interactive web sites, games, books, training modules, or experimental projects. Basic theories and techniques of Animation will also be covered. These projects will be designed primarily for the World Wide Web, however options will be presented for non-web applications. May be repeated for credit. 2.67 5.67 8.00
