Short description
Within print media you need to design every article before it's published in f.i. in a newspaper or magazine. The graphic design of the written content dictates the length and goal of the publication: the two go hand in hand. That's why it's an advantage for a future journalist to know how to design and lay out, to know the pitfalls, to know which terminology to use and to know how to use the respective software. In this course you learn how to design written content via creative exercises and you learn how to use Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
