Introduction
Books, magazines, posters, advertisements, flyers, packaging, labels, brochures, product and company logos, web pages, online and outdoor advertising, etc… Everything that surrounds us in everyday life needs graphic design both for practical purposes and to communicate.
The aim of the Summer Course in Graphic Design is to introduce the students to handling the tools used by visual communications professionals: corporate identity, advertising, packaging, traditional and digital editorial design, motion design, design for the web and social networks, calligraphy, typography, lettering and aesthetic and expressive techniques.
Objectives
The aim of the Summer Course is to introduce the students to the different stages of graphic production by giving them a knowledge of the basic tools and the sequence of processes involved in creating the piece or work.
The course touches on the indispensable software used to develop graphics projects (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, HTML and CSS), the techniques for presenting and creating mock-ups, the creation of budgets and the pre-press, production and post-production processes.
