Years 2 & 3 Graphic Design Eco-Design Program

Eco-Designed Graphic Design Program

The Eco-Designed Graphic Design curriculum promotes an approach aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of graphic and digital production. It is based on the fundamentals of graphic design and mastery of digital production tools for both print and digital media. The program addresses the environmental concerns of professionals in graphic design, publishing, and communications, as well as those of their clients.

Teachings

The second year of the eco-design computer graphics training is essentially devoted to learning the main software of the Adobe suite. This technical knowledge is applied on concrete projects which will use the software. The fundamentals of the graphics production chain are understood. The first notions of design and stylization are covered.

The third year marks the importance, for the student, of working independently. Typographic notions are in-depth to allow for all the subtleties in the deployment of the text and the hierarchy of information. The student is finally put in condition and supported in his end-of-studies project, a true synthesis of the knowledge acquired during the two years of training.
