Digital Image Composition

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This course aims to provide students with the technical and conceptual principles essential to a visual communication project, namely in terms of adapting a graphic image to the digital animation format. Main strands of study: typographic elements; vector shapes; time and movement; relationships between symbols and meanings in order to convey a message through visual communication; principles of animation; composition and basic visual effects. These principles aim to serve two fundamental objectives: a coherent and balanced project presentation and an understanding of the processes developed in the area of visual communication that allow a correct dialogue with professionals in the area
• ProgramaProgramme
