Career Opportunities in Web and Digital Design: Digital Designer: A digital designer is a creative
who combines their graphic design skills with imagination, vision and technological savvy to produce a
large range of visual media, from websites, to advertising, digital imaging, animation, 2D and 3D
modelling, and graphics.

Basically a digital designer is responsible for how something looks on a computer, mobile phone, or in
video.

The growth of the web over the last couple of decades has brought with it some new job titles. For
example, had anyone ever heard of a webmaster prior to the mid-1990s? It has also redefined some older
titles like advertising sales rep. Advertising sales reps used to sell ad space or time only in magazines

Course Syllabus: Digital Design

Classroom Expectations:
Students enrolled in all CTAE classes are preparing to compete in the world of work and/or for a post-
secondary education. Therefore, all work must exhibit a professional level of competency. Since
honesty is expected in the work place, CTAE instructors demand a high level of expectation with each
student being responsible for his/her own work; therefore, plagiarism will not be tolerated. In order to
provide quality and up-to-date instruction, various types of equipment are necessary. Students must use
all equipment as designed; respecting all property associated with the CTAE labs/classrooms, as well as
the property of other students. Another aspect of preparing students for success in future endeavors is
the expectation of appropriate career related attire and appearance. Students are expected to dress
appropriately for school, community and business functions.

Relevant vocabulary words will be emphasized throughout this course; these words may often be
important in other courses, including non-CTAE courses. Students will be introduced to these key
words in context of various units of instruction and students may also access the words through the
following methods:

● Canvas ●flash drive (student)●printed copy as requested from teacher


 Certiport * Adobe CS5 Software
Information for Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
It is the goal of Newton County educators to provide students with the appropriate background
knowledge in order to be successful when taking different local, state and national standardized tests.
Research indicates that information introduced, received and reviewed in a repetitive manner provides
students with an opportunity for greater success in the assessment arena. Therefore, vocabulary will be
stressed throughout this and all CTAE courses as well as other key academic core classes.
Parents/guardians may obtain a list of key vocabulary words relevant to this course through the
following media:

●teacher’s Canvas group


●digital copy for student(s)
●printed copy as requested from teacher

I would like for your student to strongly consider being part of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of
America), they would be a strong candidate to compete in events regional and state wide.
