CSC艺术项目对学生的具体技术建议

(Laptops are not required for incoming students but they can be helpful for working outside of open lab hours. The Art Program has a Graphic Design Lab for students equipped with 20 Mac computers and Adobe and Microsoft software.) Updated Jan. 2022

操作系统
你的电脑应该运行苹果Mac OS X 10.15或更高版本,或Windows 10. Mac OS X 10.15是免费升级. You will find Apple Macintosh computers in the CSC Graphic Design computer lab. 大多数艺术教师和许多艺术学生将使用mac电脑, 学生们使用Windows电脑也很成功. We make no specific recommendation however Mac computers tend to be the industry standard in the design field.

使用现有手提电脑
You may use your existing computer equipment as long as it meets the required specifications. For Apple computers, the computer should be capable of upgrading to macOS X 11, as shown on this Apple list. As noted below, 12” 'MacBooks' and 13” 'MacBook Airs' do not meet the minimum hardware specifications.

硬件规格
Intensive use of graphic design and digital arts software places high demands on computer hardware. For this reason, the requirement is divided between medium-level specifications for most Studio Art students, 以及平面设计专业学生的高级规格.

艺术-工作室艺术,艺术PK-12,艺术治疗前(平面设计除外)
Mac/Windows硬件规范

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 or i7; or Apple M1 or higher
  • Display: 13 in. or larger. 苹果产品注意事项:12英寸. MacBook和13英寸的. “MacBook Air”还不够.
  • 内存:最小8gb,首选16gb. Apple注意:Apple笔记本电脑的RAM在购买后无法升级.
  • Video Card:
    • Good: - built-in video with shared RAM in most models will be adequate.
    • Better: built-in video included with the newest Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs, 以及苹果M1或更高的CPU.
    • Best: A discrete video card with dedicated RAM is best for video and 3D work.
  • 存储空间:至少250GB

美术:平面设计
Mac/Windows硬件规范

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 or i7; or Apple M1 or higher.
  • Display: 15 in.,全高清(1920x1080像素),最低.
  • RAM: 8 GB minimum; 16 GB is better. 苹果笔记本电脑的RAM在购买后无法升级.
  • 显卡:具有专用RAM的独立显卡
  • 存储空间:至少250GB

软件需求

在CSC工作期间,软件标准可能会发生变化, 某些课程可能需要额外的软件. The Art Program understands that additional expenses can be a burden for students and makes all efforts to minimize additional costs. No software, other than what is listed below, will be needed for any required courses. (学生选择的工作室选修课可能需要不同的软件.) CSCladbrokes立博中文版科技服务资讯: http://576.cgicalendars.com/technology

学生软件

  • Adobe Creative Cloud: Currently AdobeCC access is provided through lab fees only when students are enrolled in a Graphic Design class. Many Graphic Design students choose to purchase their own subscription to this industry-standard software.

    http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html?promoid = Z9X3FPBM&mv=other

    Students can save over 60% on a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, 和InDesign以及其他Adobe程序. $19.99美元/月,第一年29美元.99美元/月.

  • Microsoft Office: Students get free licensed Microsoft software to install on up to three devices and along with the Microsoft software they also get up to 1 TB of free cloud storage. 如何获得:何时在您的鹰邮账户, 你可以点击左上角的九个点. 从那里,你点击旁边有箭头的Office 365. This opens you to a new page that allows you to download the Microsoft package. When opening a document, it will ask for log in credentials, which is the Eagle Mail information. 只要学生知道他们的登录信息到他们的鹰邮, 这些信息将允许他们下载软件包.

典型的额外硬件

  1. 延长质保,3年. Some protection plans cover accidental damage; others do not.
  2. Data backup: An external drive and/or a subscription to an online backup service.
    1. Why back up? 你电脑的存储驱动器在某些时候会失效, 可能就在你的期末项目截止之前. 而我们人类将无法手动备份. An automated method using software and an online service and/or an external drive will protect you from data loss.
    2. Online Backup Service: Commercial web-based backup services run continuously; cost begins at $6/month.
    3. External Storage Drive: create a backup using the backup software bundled with your computer: Time Machine (Mac), 或Windows备份和还原. The drive should be 2-3 times the capacity of the computer’s internal drive. Cost: $60-150.
  3. Macintosh computers can run both macOS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems (excluding Apple M1 laptops.) You can install Windows yourself, using Apple’s free Boot Camp software.

平板电脑/画笔记本电脑

Graphic Design students will still need to learn how to use the industry standard Adobe software but tablets are an excellent mode of digital creation with the ability to draw on touchscreens. 价格从400美元的基本型号到2500美元的超级处理器不等. 有些笔记本电脑允许用户在触摸屏上画画. The CSC Graphic Design Lab has six Wacom tablets which attach to a desktop or laptop computer for student use. Tablet vs. 笔记本电脑——平板电脑和手写笔可能是更实惠的选择. Keep in mind that most tablets aren’t built to run power-hungry graphics software. Laptops have better processors and more software (and can run the Adobe software.)

购买画板/笔记本电脑时需要考虑的事项:
(Taken from Technology/Reviews article “Portable Picasso” by Kyle Schurman)

  1. Graphics processing and memory: The laptop’s graphics processing is extremely important. 美术软件通常需要强大的图形处理器和内存. Look for a computer with at least 8 GB of graphics memory for a high-caliber performance level.
  2. RAM: Random access memory is another important feature—it holds the large graphics files while you’re working on them. 至少要有8gb的内存,当然越多越好.
  3. Pen compatibility: Make sure the touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop gives users the ability to use a stylus or specialized pen to draw freehand on the screen.
  4. 分辨率:选择屏幕分辨率高的笔记本电脑, 哪个是从1920 × 1080像素开始的. Many of the best laptops for drawing have even higher screen resolutions.
  5. 电池寿命:电池寿命在8小时以上的笔记本电脑是最好的, 允许不间断的绘图时间.
  6. CPU: The central processing unit is an important feature in every laptop, 尤其是那些使用处理密集型艺术程序的人. 寻找至少2 GHz的CPU速度. 如果你能负担得起,更高的速度意味着更好的性能.
  7. Display size: Laptop sizes are measured from one corner to the diagonal opposite. A 14- or 15-inch screen is common, but they can range from 10 to 17 inches. The larger the screen, the easier to see the details in what you’re drawing.
