Learning outcomes |
Considering this course's practical aspect, we seek to apply knowledge already taught in other undergraduate courses on the specificities inherent to images: perception, composition, stroke, line, point, color, and plane. Introduce students to basic but fundamental software that enables them to produce images or syncretic messages composed of images and words, such as posters, books/photobooks, and leaflets. The software used is LightRoom, Photoshop, and Canva. Familiarize students with the workflow of cataloging and managing images, editing and printing images, and photobook layout.
