Frank Gundermann Instructs MCSC Students on Web Design

Proper web site design begins with understanding the basics of design. The new course offered by the Mission Community Skills Centre Society (MCSC) instructs students on applying graphic design principles in the marketplace for business. The new Graphic Design Program is headed by a veteran print industry specialist, Mimmo Carbone.

"This is what the industry needs. New students who can come out of a course that teaches them real world business design and how to apply their knowledge to all areas of the business, not just to simply a knowledge of the software. If someone knows how to use a hammer, it does not make them a carpenter. This program teaches students how to be 'carpenters'."

The program duration is 15 weeks and will cover the basics of graphic design, business administration and professionalism, and 2 weeks on web development. The web development component of the course will be instructed by the president of FOG Designs, Frank Gundermann.

"This component of the course is very exciting to many of the students. It allows them to place the portfolio they develop throughout the course onto their own web site. This provides the students with solid skills that they can demonstrate to their potential employers. Employers are looking for employees with a understanding of the web and many small businesses have a demand for the students completing this course."
