Short description

During this course, we’ll cover some advanced topics in InDesign to raise your productivity. Since you’re familiar with creating documents for print and translating them into interactive PDF’s, you will start creating more advanced E-publications after setting the boundaries of what an E-publication might be. Since creating a press-ready PDF has no secrets for you anymore, you will quickly jump into preflighting and certifying PDF’s.

Evaluation (text)

You can catch up with a maximum of 2 absences for the form of permanent evaluation and this only if it is possible from an organizational point of view. You take the initiative to plan the possibility of catching up with the lecturer within 3 calendar days after the missed evaluation moment (deadline assignment, portfolio, presentation, etc.). If catching up is not possible, this will result in a score of 0 for the missed evaluation moment.
In exceptional cases, the head of the department may deviate from this rule.

Submissions for assignments always consist of own work and are submitted within the foreseen deadlines. If ideas, images or texts, ideas, designs or parts of designs of others are used, the author, designer and/or location of the work must be clearly mentioned in order to avoid plagiarism - and thus exam fraud.
