Capstone - Graphic Design

Students must complete this final course in order to obtain an overall program certificate for the Web Design Certificate Program or Graphic Design & Desktop Publishing. The course is designed to ensure that students are proficient from instruction received from all required classes attended. This is a pass/fail class, and the students will have an opportunity to build a complete small project based on their cumulative training and experience.

An actual client with an existing website from a local small business will participate in the project. All students who passes the capstone will earn the right to use the company as a job reference. Ultimately the client will select one student's work to be integrated into their own website.

There will be a checklist that the instructor will use to evaluate each student's work. Each student will work and be graded individually. Students who fail one or more sections of the checklist must register for a tutorial session to go over areas in need of improvement, and then be eligible to retake the next available capstone for half price.
