About this course 关于本课程

Welcome to Introduction to Imagemaking! This is a course for serious makers, and for students new to imagemaking.
欢迎来到图像制作入门！这是一门面向认真创作者以及图像制作新手的课程。

Imagemaking is a fluid and exciting area of graphic design that comes out of practice and process: experimenting fearlessly, showing and sharing ideas, and giving and receiving knowledgeable and constructive input.
图像制作是图形设计中的一个流动且令人兴奋的领域，它源于实践和过程：无畏地实验，展示和分享想法，以及给予和接收知识性和建设性的反馈。

For the sake of this online platform, we have applied some structure to our investigations, but for the most part imagemaking is loose and unstructured. If we must adopt a rule in this course it is only this: you will not become a graphic designer by watching videos alone. Or, don't just make stuff just in your head. So here, the focus here is on making, and you are expected to devote serious time and intellectual energy to that activity in this course. Specifically, you will:
为了这个在线平台，我们在调查中应用了一些结构，但大部分图像制作是松散和无结构的。如果我们必须在这个课程中采用规则，那也仅仅是这个：仅通过观看视频并不能让你成为一名图形设计师。或者，不要只是在你脑海中制作东西。所以在这里，重点是制作，你在这个课程中应该投入大量时间和智力精力到这项活动中。具体来说，你将：

• experiment with a range of materials and techniques to make images for graphic design
  尝试多种材料和技巧制作图形设计图像
• expand your visual vocabulary both in terms of making and talking about work, in order to discuss your work and work of others
  扩展你在制作和讨论作品方面的视觉词汇，以便讨论你的作品和他人的作品
• learn how to make, manipulate and arrange images to create compositions, eventually culminating in the design and production of an-image-based book.
  学习如何制作、操作和排列图像以创建构图，最终完成一本以图像为主的书的设计与制作。

The results of your assignments (and experiments) may generate something completely unknowable now or in the future—and that's the goal.
您的作业（和实验）的结果现在或未来可能会产生完全不可知的东西——这就是目标。

If you have already taken the first two courses in the Graphic Design Specialization, Fundamentals of Graphic Design and Introduction to Typography, you may find some of the design principles covered in those courses are repeated here as well. So while some of the material will be a review, I encourage you to use the space and time allotted in this course to make, iterate, and experiment with images. Meditate on how some of the same and vital fundamental principles of graphic design and typography function in an all-image graphic design context.
如果您已经完成了图形设计专项课程的前两门课程，即《图形设计基础》和《排版导论》，您可能会发现其中的一些设计原则在这里也有重复。因此，虽然一些内容将是复习，但我鼓励您利用这门课程分配的时间和空间来制作、迭代和实验图像。思考一些相同且至关重要的图形设计和排版基本原则如何在全图像图形设计环境中发挥作用。

Still, if you are looking for a set of rules, Sister Corita Kent's Some Rules for Students and Teachers is a useful guide for your imagemaking experiments.
尽管如此，如果您正在寻找一套规则，Sister Corita Kent 的《学生与教师的一些规则》是您进行图像制作实验的有用指南。
