Description
This course’s orientation is NOT primarily ‘how to use’ PaintShop Pro. Our main focus is based around the business of creativity, with the software being used purely as a preference over other editing suites.
The course is more about an attitude than a way of working too, presenting a series ‘pre-commercial advisories’, for Students who are looking to excel in the world of design. By the end of the course, we will feel that we’ve done a good job if our Students have learned how to make complex considerations, prior to making a single mark on paper, or indeed the screen.
By the time our Students have finished, they won’t just understand the best way to apply their craft, but how to construct it in such a way, that they can communicate moods, messages and complex undertones within their compositions.
At the end of this course, Students will have learned how to implement valuable thought processes whilst producing a piece of design, setting them apart from the generic efforts of their contemporaries
