Level 2 Digital Information Technology
TCDTI2 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: T. Chisholm.
Recommended Prior LearningOpen entry but success in TCDTI1 and a flair for design is an advantage
This course builds on TCDTI1 and focusses on Digital Information and Media. We will use a range of software applications (i.e. Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) to create original content. In this course we will create a detailed prototype infographic. We will also create a website with accompanying database. Our focus is on ensuring that our outcomes are easy to use and contain artwork that has been found in the public domain and then edited using Photoshop. Good design habits play an important part in what we do and you will learn how to create print and online media that could be used in the real world.
In the external we will write a summary on how we developed either our infographic or website.
