Unit 35 – Digital Graphics for Interactive Media by Ian Ferguson https://padlet.com/fergusonian/unit35 Year 13 - Bucks UTC en-us 2017-09-21 08:21:34 UTC 2023-06-14 03:47:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/221013239/9af07f3717774f55692f75915dac8168/johh.jpg Unit 11 Digital Graphics & Animation - fergusonian https://padlet.com/fergusonian/unit35/wish/189645432
 The aim of the unit is to introduce learners to the basic tools and techniques of digital graphics software used to produce images for interactive media products. Learners will develop skills in using digital imaging software by producing digitally manipulated visual material. They will experiment with graphic styles used to set mood and theme in interactive media products and reflect critically on their own work. ]]> 2017-09-21 08:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/fergusonian/unit35/wish/189645432 Introduction fergusonian https://padlet.com/fergusonian/unit35/wish/189646505  Anyone considering a career in the interactive media industry needs to be aware of various disciplines and skills relevant to the industry which may be outside their own particular interest or career goals. For example, anyone involved in interactive media production must be familiar with the creation of digital images, digital graphics being the basis on which interactive media products are sold. The creation of digital graphics is relevant to all aspects of design and these skills are highly sought after in media industries. Those who aspire to work in this industry should therefore gain basic practical experience in the production and development of digital graphics for use in interactive media in order to communicate ideas or develop a specialism. In this unit learners will become familiar with the basic tools and techniques of the digital graphics software used to produce images for interactive media. These techniques form the basis of the development of graphics for adverts, magazine pages, websites, DVD interfaces, animations, in short for all print and screen design. This unit is therefore fundamental to the development of digital design skills. The digital graphics process includes enhancing or transforming digitally captured images by means of specialist image editing software. Learners will have the opportunity to develop skills in using digital imaging software by producing digitally manipulated visual material. It is important for learners to develop appropriate skills in using digital graphics software and this unit provides knowledge, understanding and practical experience through a basic awareness and experience of commonly used software tools. Learners will have opportunities to experiment with graphic styles used to set mood and theme in interactive media products. Since this unit encourages learners to express imaginative skills, it is appropriate that some critical self-reflective practice is undertaken. This professional skill will encourage a habit of life-long value in any future career. ]]> 2017-09-21 08:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/fergusonian/unit35/wish/189646505 Learning outcomes fergusonian https://padlet.com/fergusonian/unit35/wish/189646912 1 Understand theory and applications of digital graphics technology
