Learning outcomes

The Graphic Design and Photography 4 seminar continues to deepen the previous experience and skills acquired in this artistic activity. In the contemporary world, the data medium and its packaging can represent a proxy artefact for creative disciplines whose outputs often do not have a physical form. Given the art-oriented curriculum of the studio, this medium points to one more way of self-presentation or distribution of the artwork. By appropriately choosing the visual elements used on the cover and accompanying booklet, students can learn to visualize the context of the content the medium holds.
