Learning outcomes

Seminar Graphic Design and Photography 5 is an imaginary follow-up to previous graphic education in a bachelor's program, although this is not entirely a condition. The course focuses mainly on the search for individual approaches in the implementation of graphic designs, which are an accompanying line of their own artistic activities of students. Learning outcomes should be the ability to create innovative solutions, catalogs and other accompanying materials related to the core curriculum. In this semester, students will focus on the output in the form of a folding poster that combines two different communication planes. It also serves as a medium of visual communication when viewed from a certain distance, but also as a catalog presenting a more detailed project context. Last but not least, it offers a demonstration of non-traditional ways of folding a printing sheet.

Prerequisites and other requirements

Prerequisite for attending the seminar are at least a basic knowledge of Adobe graphics programs range.
