| Overall Educational Objective | To learn the presentation outputs and visual communication techniques. | ||||
| Course Description | The student begins the course by examining the current visualization tools, hardwares and softwares. They advert to the importance of digital modeling/visualization which is the most helpful method for a designer to address his/her thoughts to the other party. They search and try the methods to find out how each works better. They mention the ways to improve architectural and interior visualization. The course gives clues about the post production process and how it contributes to the project. It put emphasis on the open/close ratio of the composition’s proportions during the phase of presentation to the other party. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) understand presentation techniques; 2) use post production tools in Photoshop; 3) appreciate the importance of visual communication. |
