Learning Goals
The classes aim to provide theoretical and practical references within the communication Design, in terms of the vector drawing and illustration, from the experimentation applied.
Stimulate visual perception through analysis and critical sense with functional and aesthetic criteria. Promote the individual creative abilities from the domain of tools for the design of practical exercises. Explore the application of plastic expression and manuals to vector drawing and paging, exploring the software Adobe Indesign and Adobe Illustrator.
Equip the student for a response to an advanced level and creative within the vector drawing for the implementation at the level of editorial design.
