Advanced Digital Imaging

Aims of Module

This module aims to advance your knowledge of and understanding of digital imaging and modes of digital production. Facilitating further experimentation and exploration of creativity through a series of briefs, the module aims to widen the range of digital techniques and practices adopted using, for example, techniques in Photoshop and Aperture to apply your creativity in a focused way.

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of the module you should be able to:
1. identify and evaluate the requirements for successful advanced digital imaging production;
2. design a range of differing photographic responses demonstrating advanced imaging  skills;
3. display advanced creative interpretation of set briefs and employ creative solutions as a response.

Module Content

You will examine creative expression through advanced digital imaging. The module will initially provide you with a brief revision and then tuition on advanced use of Photoshop and Aperture demonstrating how digital image enhancement is achieved, including, for example, black and white conversions and modes of digital production. The use of and importance in successful colour management will also be examined. The module will review Photoshop and Aperture functions for acquiring, sorting and processing digital images and in addition. The module’s lectures and demonstrations will draw upon case studies, used to illustrate the programs and techniques expressed.

Assessment:

1. Book Design (30%) (Learning Outcomes 1, 2 and 3).
2. Web Design (30%) (Learning Outcomes 1, 2 and 3)
3. Editing Proficiency (40%) (Learning Outcomes 1, 2 and 3).

Teaching And Learning Strategy

Lectures, demonstrations and workshops are the principal form of teaching and the module is designed to build essential skills within the field of creative imaging and by responding to the assessment you will be given experience of the common work situations and constraints whilst developing advanced technical and procedural understanding. Where appropriate, guest practitioners will be invited to discuss their own work, framing it within the specific concerns of the module.
