Explore careers and research a topic in Graphic Arts and Printing. Adobe is changing the world through digital experiences. We help our customers create, deliver and optimise content and applications.
Lessons deal with theoretical investigations and with the pratice of applications such as Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects. Theory– space– time– sign– elements of semiotics– sequence– analysis of editing and direction elements– historical hints and relevant case studies. Adobe Premiere– audio/video project set up– work interface: tools, monitor and timeline– editing operations– transitions and effects– titling– output and compression.
Adobe After Effects– project set up– work interface: tools, preview and tracks– three- dimensional space: lights, 3. D layers and cameras– animation of an object’s characteristics through keyframes– transparency and keying– output and compression. This course requires the students to maintain a strong commitment to their work and exercise the tools presented during the lessons through systematic independent practice. Colour Management Onnik Pambakian. The course starts with an introduction to the concept of colour and presents the technical and scientific tools in order to work in a professional context.

Computer Design I, I I Arif Bashir. New technologies supporting graphic communication make tools available for experimenting creative solutions simply unthinkable only a few years ago. Softwares such as Photoshop, Illustrator, In. Design have been a real turning point for the work of graphic designers revolutioning their work and allowing more flexibility, beyond the severe compositive schemes of the past. The advent of alternative or unconventional solutions in graphic design has cancelled as a consequence the predetermined association page=bidimensionality enabling the appearance of a different architecture generated by a system of relations between leading players (photo, illustrations, lettering, signs) and their followers. It is therefore necessary to recognize leaders and hierarchies in the relationship between full/empty, dimensions/colour but also value less usual attributes such as transparency and light.
The teaching methodology combines technical, functional and creative with the development of increasingly complex tasks projects. Rc6 Microsoft Windows Media Center Ir Remote. Initial Workshop Letizia Bollini, Marco Catani, Dmitry Gontarev.
The purpose of this initial workshop is to identify each and everyone’s design potential and pinpoint their strengths along with their weakness and critical abilities to be improved. The workshop Area Media convergence. A practical application.
With the introduction of the web 2. Interaction, user- focused design, social networks, video and content sharing, wikis, RIAs, multiuser games and other technological and content production advancements have modified the concept of communication and information delivery. Today, mass communication cannot rely exclusively on the old marketing and entertainment rules but needs to face with the changes technology has brought. The workshop will be divided in two parts: the first (day 1) will deal with the theoretical aspects of modern communications. It will discuss concepts like media convergence, viral marketing and digital divide. It will examine case histories from campaigns which have made successful use of the new trends and it will also look at the work of artists who have to use technology as a form of art. In the second part (day 2- 5) students will be asked to apply what they have learnt to develop a strategy in response to a explicit communication need.
Digital Art Direction Laboratory Paulo Bernini. The course guides students in the creation of digital communication projects achieving higher professional standards. The programme covers the analysis of the main elements of Art Direction for digital environments/platforms, from the reception of a client brief and the development of the project strategy up to the presentation of the concepts. A specific brief will be given by the tutors at the beginning of the course. The purpose of the assignment is stimulating the students’ creative problem solving skills allowing them to develop web projects that communicate the client’s message in an effective and professional way, technology wise.
Social Media Marketing Marco Catani, Dmitry Gontarev. Social media platforms have been dramatically changing the way companies and institutions do their business. The goal of these classes is to increase the students’ awareness in this respect and help them to develop a project based assignement to test the abilities and information thus acquired. The course deals with the following subjects: – how social media changed the way companies do business today.– evolution from web 2.
