Digital Media
The Matanzas High School Digital Media/Multimedia Foundations curriculum provides students the opportunity to learn industry-level skills in basic computer knowledge, illustration software, digital still photography, photo editing software, and advanced design.
This rigorous program is meant to prepare students for work as multimedia artists, graphic designers, and animators. Students begin by learning Adobe Photoshop in their first year of the program, building a beautiful digital portfolio along the way. They continue learning the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite using Illustrator and InDesign as they advance throughout the program. Students have the opportunity to earn Adobe Industry Certifications in the programs they master.
Students are involved in design projects and contests throughout the school and our local community. They are introduced to design related technology such as Wacom drawing tablets, DSLR cameras, and more.
