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.
