For the Computer Applications in Digital Design and Data Management course, it was an introductory course in product design and line development with a focus on elements of principles of design. It was also an introductory course in portfolio development for design and merchandising presentations. We were instructed to complete a number of projects utilizing different programs including Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and Google SketchUp. For each assignment, we had to put together a PowerPoint presentation and then present our projects to our instructors and classmates.
