Learning outcomes

Seminar Graphic Design and Photography 4 continues to deepen the previous experience and skills of this art activity. In today's world, a data carrier and its packaging can represent a surrogate artifact for creative disciplines whose outputs often do not have a physical form. Due to the artistically oriented study program, this medium points to one of the other ways of presenting or distributing a work of art. By appropriately selecting the visual elements used on the cover and the attached booklet, students can learn to present the context of the content that the medium hides.
