MicroMaster in GIMP/ Inkscape Graphic Editing & Graphic Design Certificate Course

Students will not only learn how to create raster and vector graphics using the open source applications GIMP and Inkscape, but also comprehend how to use images to communicate information.
 
Starting from the basics of vector and raster graphics, the course will gradually deliver related graphic design knowledge in greater depth. Initially, students will learn the introductory concepts of graphic design and the basic techniques of using GIMP and Inkscape. Afterwards, the course will move on to advanced image editing techniques such as color science, text and typography, graphic composition and logo design, as well as methods of converting images to NFT.
 
Overall, the course emphasizes both theory and practice, allowing students to grasp the unique design styles and characteristics of different eras while mastering the production methods of various types of illustrations, advertisements, web pages and book covers. Ultimately, students will be able to create their own portfolios upon course completion.
 
(We aim to create a harmonious classroom atmosphere with close student-teacher interaction. Our instructors will walk students through several creative media production tasks, and answer students' questions on the spot. Each task is accompanied by an assignment that students are required to complete on their own, and our instructors will use these assignments to assess how well students have mastered the subject material after class. By the end of the course, each student/group should be able to work independently on their creative media projects using Inkscape and GIMP.)
