Hello Students,
Welcome to the beginning of your ROP Web Design Class. This course will focus on hand coding websites with HTML and CSS, as well as understanding and creating digital media and computer graphics. ROP stands for Regional Occupational Program, which means we also study and develop the skills you will need to find employment in today's competitive job market as well. Your instructor, Seth Wilson has been working in the creative industry since 1996 and continues to develop world class motion graphics and design as an independent contractor.
Syllabus: All students will be given a syllabus, this must be reviewed with a parent or guardian and signed and returned asap.
Materials: Each student should have a USB thumbdrive of at least 4GB capacity for transferring files and backing up classwork.
I also request that each student has a notebook for use during class, taking notes on operational procedures, lectures, videos, etc... is crucial. Students are often asked to write short response papers, write proposals or sketch ideas. Sketching, exploration and brain-storming skills are crucial to design.
