Introduction to Design and Digital Imaging: Desktop Publishing

What you will learn

After every tutorial session there will be an outcome that demonstrates the skills you have learnt. This will be followed by an extended piece of work, which will be the result of the small self defined project. You will develop digital design skills as you progress through the course, a greater understanding of design and how to integrate the software to create and prepare images for print and online purposes.

Your fee also includes an ID card to access the building, as well as access to our fantastic library facilities for the duration of this course.
