Digital Design ZAD229
Introduction
This unit introduces digital design applications for image making, illustration and digital visualization, in both vector and raster formats. It explores the diverse nature of digital media tools available and the specific areas of the creative industries they service. Although the output may be vastly different, the theory behind these programs is essentially the same. You will learn how to develop digital design artefacts using a range of methods and tools with an emphasis on experimentation and exploration on multiple strategies and software of digital illustration and digital visualization.
