Learning outcomes of the course unit

Graphic Design and Photography 1 builds on the introductory graphic design seminar and develops students' other skills and knowledge. Although this discipline is not a central focus for photography students, it can be a good tool for presenting or communicating certain topics. As a result of the learning, students should be able to further use their own visual material for outputs where there is a need to work with a certain temporality, where complete files are presented, or where the image is subsequently combined with text and other graphic elements. In undertaking such projects, not only does one's knowledge of the software deepen, but also one's ability to better articulate one's positions and view one's work critically.

Mode of study

Teaching in the seminar takes place in the form of individual consultations, presentations of demonstrations and explanations of work in programs.

Prerequisites and co-requisites

The prerequisite is completion of the Introduction to Contemporary Graphic Design seminar.
