About the Course

Throughout the Semester Project, the student will get the opportunity to demonstrate his/her ability to make good choices based on acquired competence. The candidate works independently on all the steps of the project - from idea development to presenting the final product. The goal is to implement a real-world graphic design project that includes project management, communicating with the client, and developing visual communication material with a defined audience and a clear message. The candidate needs to prepare a progress plan and report that documents the process and decisions that were made along the way. The candidate finally presents the completed project to the examiner and fellow students after submission.
