After successful completion of the course, students are able to work with both raster and vector image in their professional field. Understanding the principles of image adjustment and composition is one of the main goals of the class. Students are also gaining a profound knowledge in photography before they explore the possibilities of digital postproduction.

The course focuses mainly on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Photoshop, at the time being the premier imaging and production tool for those interested in multimedia, the web and print. Knowledge of Photoshop provides a fundamental base of computer concepts and techniques from which students can build upon. Illustrator on the other hand is a powerful drawing program that dovetails smoothly with many other applications. With a little imagination and vector drawing tools, you can create images for output to any size without losing detail. You will learn underlying concepts that determine how raster and vector programs "think".

In the wintersemester of 2021 the class will be held as a distant learning course.

The topics for the distant learning phases will be covered via pre-recorded videos and live Zooms-Sessions. All of that plus homework assignments and projects will be coordinated via TUWEL. Access is available only after registration vis TISS.

The first class is held as a live Zoom Session and attendence is mandatory.

This class is part of the Elective Module #11 (Visutech) from the Bachelor program of Spacial Planning. Registration is only open for Students of Spatial Planning (033240+066440). Both classes are held by video Tutorials and Live Zoom meetings. The zoom meetings for both classes are held on Monday 9:00-11:00.

You only need to register ONCE to do both classes. 

The first class is a ZOOM Meeting. Attending the first class is mandatory. Students that fail to come to the first class will be removed from the list. The Zoom Link will be provided by email min. 1h before the class.
