Short Course

Overview

Accademia Riaci's Graphic Design course gives students a theoretical and practical introduction to graphic design in the era of digital communication. The program will provide students with detailed technical knowledge of leading-edge digital tools allowing them to realize their designs. In consideration of the great importance that advertising has in the course, students' projects address communication issues, exploring the principal media and investigating ways of working with different targets. Branding, naming, lettering, copywriting, and imaging will become familiar to students enrolled in this course. Students must be familiar with the computer environment.
