The class was added so the school would have its own entirely self- published newspaper. Cary Cox. Academics ' Computer Graphics radents team with computers for design wo teachers and two areas of expertise - voila- a new class -- computer graphics. The computer graphics class was an addition to the journalism depart- ment developed to complete the process of publishing for the news- paper and to develop press ready copy for the yearbook. The new class taught students how to do type- settings and layouts for published materials. Also it showed them practical applications for their com- puter skills. Cox and I decided to team teach as we had two areas of exper- tiseg one was schooled in computers and the other in design layout, said Computer Graphics Teacher Bev- erly Adkins. Adkins noted the experiment was successful, Some of the students did fineg others discovered the course was not what they had antici- pated. The Maclntosh computer is the best available for what we have attempted? Computer graphics students de- signed many of the school's printed materials. We do anything that we can fit into our schedule because it gives more experience, said Teacher Cary Cox. With the computer graphics class, the publication of the newspaper required nothing to be sent to out- side companies. The class was added so the school would have its own entirely self-published news- paper, noted Cox. 'gWe wanted the students to see it go from first con- cept to final publicationf' Before the class was created, any mistakes found in the newspaper would have to be corrected through a company in Evanston. lt was a real hassle having to send itback and forth to Evanston, and Cbecause of deadlinesj sometimes we were forced to leave mistakes in, noted Cox. In previous years, the journalism staff did the newspaper designing by hand, which meant the paper's ar- ticles had to be cut and pasted to the layouts by the reporters. Having to do this caused problems. The col- umns weren't as even and straight as the staff would have liked. With the- Maelntosh computers, the newspa- per layouts were designed on the computer screen, making them more symmetrical. Adkins noted that not all work in class was done on the Maclntosh computer. We spent some time teaching some sutents part of an inte- grated package on various func- tions of the Ile that could be transposed into the Macintosh. Unlike many c o m p u t e r classes, graphics is uncomplicated in the eyes of its students. Once youive learn the basic functions, it isn't too tough, said Sophomore Eric Jeans. Cox noted, A person only needs the pa- tience and determination to sit down and get it right. If a student wished to, he could continue with computer graphics courses in college and make a career of it. Printing is the second largest industry in the U.S., and they all use some form of design, said Cox. A person could also use the information in other related areas, like architec- ture.
