SYLLABUS
Theoretical module
The theoretical module includes the composition and publishing development
of any form of graphic design documents, specifically newspapers and periodicals. Initially, graphic features of a periodical are collected, recorded, classified and analyzed, afterward the innovative artistic design approach follows. Also, conceptual factors of the editing are analyzed such as the aesthetics of the editing, the style, information that we communicate visually and the reading public that is more suitable to our graphic document at a time as well. In addition, the technical and technological features of the graphic design publishing development are recorded (e. g. the graphic design for the page spread in particular sizes based on well-organized and aesthetic visual communication).
Workshop module
Initially, we focus on cognitive understanding of the requirements of publishing development, the appropriate use of text and images, the application of innovative designing proposals and finally end up with two tasks: 1) ordinary (printing) and 2) online publishing.
The tasks embrace:
- Attachment and word processing by choosing the most suitable typewriting style (size, style, paragraphs, interspersed etc.).
- Methodology and evaluation of features.
- Digital images processing on the page (frame, size, colour etc.) by using specific software.
- Graphic design development on model processing software and attachment to the page editing software depending on the directions that students follow.
- Classification, evaluation and final processing of features (contents, appendix, tables etc.) and special pages (editorial, front page etc.).
- Preparation for publishing development both ways 1) printing 2) online.
Innovative teaching method.
