Sisältö

Miten taittaa julkaisuja ja tehdä kuvitusta vektorigrafiikalla?
Miten valita oikea typografia, väriprofiili ja paperi?
Kuinka tallentaa tiedosto tarkoituksen mukaisessa tiedostomuodossa ja hallita tiedostoja ohjelmistojen välillä?
Kuinka valitset kuhunkin työhön sopivat työkalut ja työskentelytavat?

Muodissa ja puvustuksessa on tärkeää hallita sommittelu ohjelmien avulla: vaate + ihminen + moodboard = visuaaliset presentaatiot.

Opiskelumuodot ja -menetelmät

Learning route based on a working week
You will attend teaching and guidance sessions as specified in the schedule. Your study routine is determined by the scheduled group sessions and by the self-study assignments.

Learning route that accelerates the studies
If you have acquired prior learning in the subject (fully/partially), contact the teacher in charge prior the course to discuss whether you have the competence required and what are the methods of demonstrating that competence. If you are unable to attend all the classes due to other courses, you are required to complete the learning assignments independently.

Work-based learning route
You need to contact the course teacher prior the course to agree on development assignments that you will perform at your work place. You are required to prove your learning both in theory and practice by giving a presentation at Game Design show and tell day.

Tenttien ja tehtävien ajoittuminen

Deadlines:
– In order to benefit from the dedicated feedback
sessions students must have at least partially completed the assignments
on review at that time.
– If a student misses the deadline for an
assignment feedback session, no assurance of feedback at a later date
can be given. Current works take precedence.
– If a student can not achieve a required deadline the lecturer must be informed and an extension will be negotiated.
– Unauthorized late return of course assignments will have an effect on final grading. (Between 1 and 2 points deducted)

Opiskelijan työmäärä

In class, student will complete instructive exercises and then receive feedback to deepen their expertise.
Students will also complete assignments independently.
Generally the topics covered during lessons will not be converted to a remote learning package. In other words, students are responsible for taking notes when necessary, and in the case of absence students are responsible for finding out what was covered during lessons.
