Planned learning activities and teaching methods | The taught part of the course is delivered by means of illustrated lectures conducted with the help of computer presentations. Lectures are supplemented with extended project briefings, practical workshops, exercises, group critiques and individual tutorials. During student centred practical work, students are encouraged to develop personal research, realization and manipulation in project work through the creative use of computer/digital based skills and hand skills such as photography, illustration and print. Electronic image/type via Apple Macintosh or PC hardware and software can lead to alternative and unique visual solutions.
