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".
