Learning outcomes of the course unit

In the last year of study, Graphic Design and Photography 7 is a kind of support platform for the implementation of the final photographic publication, which is part of the master's thesis at the end of the summer semester. The winter semester is thus more focused on the search for topics, print options and visual strategies. The outcome of the seminar does not have to be a definite book, but rather it should be a presentation of the work on the main topic, testing of forms and other material tests. Students are expected to provide factual argumentation and technical experience from previous years.

Mode of study

The course is taught in the form of individual consultations, presentation of concepts and independent work in adequate software.
