Both media classes blend a time spent learning basic tools and concepts of media design and production with time spent developing individual style and direction. Trimester one focuses mainly on the fundamental computer tools. Trimester two enhances the tools while primarily spending time on the basics of communication with electronic media. Trimester three centers around a larger production bringing the concepts to bear on a production that is partially evaluated by an outside client.
