Spring 2016: The following are links to classes that Assistant Professor Mark Bealo teaches here at Palomar College.

GCMW 101 – Multimedia I
Exploration of concepts, design and development of digital video production and editing skills as they relate to CD Rom/DVD, Internet, and Digital Video.

GCIP 140 - Digital Imaging/Photoshop I
Introduction to digital imaging systems for Graphic Communications and new media. Emphasis on applications relating to color reproduction and electronic delivery systems. (Some quotes from former students)

GCIP 140A - Digital Imaging/Photoshop IA (Fast Track class that is the first 1/2 of a semester length GCIP 140 course)
Introduction to digital imaging systems for Graphic Communications and new media. Emphasis on applications relating to color reproduction and electronic delivery systems.

GCIP 140B - Digital Imaging/Photoshop IA (Fast Track class that is the second 1/2 of a semester length GCIP 140 course)
Introduction to digital imaging systems for Graphic Communications and new media. Emphasis on applications relating to color reproduction and electronic delivery systems.

GCIP 141 - Digital Imaging/Photoshop 2
The Concepts of intermediate digital imaging with Adobe Phototshop for visual, pictorial and graphic use in all media. Effective image creation for motion graphics, publications and internet for effective visual communications.

GCIP 152 - Digital Publishing/Illustrator I
Introduction to computer-generated digital layout. Illustrator will help the student generate new images or convert bitmapped images into PostScript. Quality levels needed for digital output will be evaluated.

GCIP 150 - 3D Product Development and Marketing
3D product development from concept through output, packaging and launching. Use a 3D program to model, a 3D printer to output, design and print packaging for, and market a product.

GCIP 168 - Digital Imaging with Drones
An introduction to using drones or unmanned vehicles for digital imaging. This hands-on course covers building, operating, and outfitting for still and video imaging and image capture.

GCIP 252 - Digital Publishing/Illustrator II
Advanced concepts and methods of Illustrator and its use in graphic illustrations and problem solving. Software capabilities for use in preparing computer files for publishing to digital and electronic delivery systems.

GCIP 240 - Photoshop III
The concepts of advanced digital imaging with Adobe Photoshop for creating and preparing images for electronic distribution. Advanced methods of editing in all venues of digital media for visual communications.

GCIP 268 - Digital Imaging with Drones II
Intermediate uses of unmanned vehicles for digital imaging. This hands-on course covers high resolution video, aerial imaging, intelligent mission planning, and the use of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV) for image capture, editing, mapping and related uses.

GCMW 201 - Intermediate Multimedia
Strategies and techniques for designing successful multimedia projects in Apple Logic Pro X with emphasis on audio for Internet, video, composites and motion graphics.

GCMW 203 - Web Multimedia
Open discussion of current technologies, social issues, and design theory directly related to multimedia for the Internet and World Wide Web. Experimental and practical application of multimedia in graphic user interface and user navigation design via assigned class projects.

This class is a handful. We cover all of the various aspects of multimedia on the web: text, graphics, animation, sound and video. The latest in streaming technology and applications is covered along with the usability aspects involved in quality web design. Applications that we cover include Photoshop and Fireworks for Graphics, Flash and Motion for Animation, Illustrator for Illustrations, iMovie and possibly a bit of Final Cut Pro for Video, Compressor and other appsfor compression, the main three media players - Quicktime, Real and Windows Media, GarageBand for audio, Acrobat, and Dreamweaver to gather all the elements together into web pages.

GCMW 205 – Digital Video for Multimedia
Concepts, design and development of digital video production and editing skills as they relate to Internet, mobile devices, screen media, and physical delivery formats. Students will incorporate typography, graphics, animation and video into real-world projects. (Some quotes from former students)

GCMW 206 - Motion Graphics Production and Compositing
This course will be a "cap course" in which the student combines skills learned in multiple disciplines. For example the student will combine video skills learned in Graphic Communications and RTV with skills learned in ART or CAD by compositing a video that incorporates 3D rendered characters with live video footage and stills. The student will complete the work by preparing it for publication using Digital Video, DVD, and/or online Streaming technologies.

The software used during this course will be The Foundry's high end compositing application NukeX, the Free 3D application Blender, Apple's Final Cut Pro for video editing, and Adobe's Photoshop.

In case you are not familiar with NukeX, it has been used in many of the films that won or have been nominated for the Academy Award for Visual Effects. So now are you interested in taking this class?
