- Course objectives
- The focus of the course is to develop students' skills and ability to work on the professional level. Presented students' proposals of the graphic design will respect client's requirements and deadlines. In this course, teamwork will be encouraged which can lead to the innovative solutions combining strategies of graphic design, typography, and type design with other areas such as animation, video, 3D modeling, information graphics, visualization, photography, DTP (desktop publishing), product and package design, exhibition design, etc. In the course, students will be confronted with external experts and lecturers with the technical and artistic background also. While working on specific tasks students will utilize knowledge and experience previously acquired in prerequisite courses. This course introduces the workflow of a graphic designer expected on the professional level. The goal is to offer to students an opportunity to gain the experience while communicating with clients, presenting the work, working in teams, seeking innovative solutions.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of this course, students will create their own portfolio.
- Syllabus
- Creative presentations (portfolio), a creation of a 3D font, participation in internal and external graphics and multimedia competitions, curatorship of exhibitions etc.
