Students will acquire basic knowledge to work in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, whereupon they will be able in the next years to create quality graphical outputs of their projects (technical reports, presentations, posters, presentations, theses).

Students are expected to have elementary knowledge of work with PC, Windows and the ability of creative thinking.

The course is taught in the form of seminars in computer labs, which are focused on practical application of the learnt knowledge.

Graded course-unit credit requirements: attendance in lessons, meeting assigned projects deadlines, practical test verifying the knowledge of work with the software and creative work ability. Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on projects, tasks and a test. In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
