Digital Image 2 (VCDP 2312)

A strong ability in image editing allows a designer to create images that fit well into their designs and also communicate the desired message of a project. In this course, students will push their ability to create and edit images, using advanced editing and retouching techniques to create professional images and photographic composites. Projects will explore technical skills like advanced selections and masks, image adjustments, filters, blend modes, patching and healing, non-destructive editing, and more. Students will use these technical skills to create images that communicate a conceptual message, a brand message, or a narrative.
