I think the classes would be quite similar (fundamentals of design are the same whatever class one takes), but the digital media class will focus exclusively on technology-related design (graphic design, digital photography, video production, audio production).

As an unsolicited aside, I'd love for the 'designers' at Google to take a refresher course on digital media design. If you use Google products like Google Drive or Gmail, you'll know all too well that they are currently bent on using a white-on-white theme on those pages. On today's large screen monitors, it's just a wall of white space, which is really hard on the eyes. The fundamental design flaw is lack of contrast. I don't understand why they are ignoring negative feedback about it. Typical modern corporation, I guess: "We spent a lot of money to create the white theme. We're not changing it. Get used to it."
