Graphic Design school in Florence, Italy. The Florence Institute has Short Courses courses on Graphic Design held during summer.
GRAPHIC DESIGN SUMMER COURSE
The short summer course is a basic but intensive course of the graphic design process. The studio design course is an introduction to graphic design theory and its application. This short summer course is designed for students with an interest in beginning their studies into graphics. The course is also perfect for those who are currently studying marketing or advertising who wish to expand into visual arts. The course rapidly moves from to the fundamental design principals, to the process of planning, to the final guidelines for the creation of resolved two-dimensional art work.
DESCRIPTION
The short course teaches the information on graphic design basics. The succinct but comprehensive coverage of the multitude of technical issues confronting today’s graphic designers, coupled with examples of graphics from around the world with focus on typically Italian graphic design.
ITALIAN LANGUAGE
We also combine the Graphic Design courses with Italian language for 3hrs per week – a chance to build confidence and understanding of one of the most beautiful languages in the world. A development of knowledge of the language can help you to enjoy the culture and customs of Florence and Italy even more.
