There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

The aim of this module is to develop skills in the creative and practical aspects of digital image manipulation and internally recognisable visual conventions. Students will demonstrate digital design software and hardware skills and knowledge and apply these towards the creation of a portfolio of visual design work. There will be an introduction to advanced techniques for inputting, creating, manipulating, enhancing, and storing digital images. Students will implement the principles of how to prepare digital files for screen, print and digital manufacturing outputs following international conventions. Students will develop their visual presentation skills, which will allow them to prepare a physical and web-based portfolio of visual creative output, on which to build during their course of study.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Develop skills to research, develop and create imaging outcomes using a range of visual software and techniques.

LO2: Apply knowledge to input and store imagery from analogue and digital sources in appropriate file formats and at appropriate file sizes.

LO3: Apply appropriate knowledge in image enhancement, manipulation and preparation.

LO4: Apply knowledge to combine multiple image forms into coherent compositions for visual presentation purposes.

LO5: Apply knowledge to create and prepare files appropriately for both digital and physical outputs.

LO6: Demonstrate an awareness of principles of visual conventions.
