Courses for Creatives

The third semester focuses on developing both a professional and efficient workflow and a deeper understanding of modern color management and prepress. On completion of the course students should be able to create complex page layouts, uniform grid systems and elaborate compositings and tackle advanced prepress challenges.

In the second semester we familiarize ourselves with advanced tools and methods for working with bitmap graphics, vector graphics and page layouts and focus on developing an efficient workflow. On completion of the course students should be able to tackle elaborate layouting tasks – combining techniques from Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign – and prepare simple documents for offset printing.

The main focus of our first semester is an introduction into working with the Adobe Creative Suite, while supporting the projects in the core modules. On completion of the course students should be proficient in the essential tools and methods of both bitmap and vector graphics and should be capable of creating page layouts combining cross-software techniques. What's more, they should have developed an initial understanding of the fundamental concepts in modern prepress and print production.
