The course aims to bring about elementary skills in visual design and some level of critical aesthetic awareness

content

The course offers a series of basic assignments, including the design of a logo, a sign, as well as the development of a storyboard and a collage, to exercise skills in visual design, and to gain experience with relevant tools, such as photoshop. For the final assigments, students may choose to develop a house style, create an animation, or realize visual elements for a game, for example visual effects in a game space. All assignments must be presented in an online portfolio. To exercise critical skills, students are required to submit multiple peer-reviews. Students are also required to write an essay and give a presentation about a designer or artist, or another relevant topic in visual design. Guest lectureres from the area of media art or design will be invited to show their work and discuss their professional approach.
