Learning outcomes
The course Graphic Design and Photography 1 builds on the introductory graphic seminar and develops students' further skills and knowledge. For students of photography this discipline is not a central subject of their interest, but it can be a good tool for them to present or communicate some specific topics. The result of the course should be the ability to further use their own visual material for the outputs, where it is necessary to work with a certain timing, where the complete series are presented, or where the image is subsequently combined with the text and other graphic elements. In the realization of such projects, not only the knowledge of the software deepens, but also the ability to better articulate own attitudes and view own work process critically.
