Computing - Part-time Introduction to Digital Graphics

In this course you’ll learn all about the processes and methods for producing Digital Graphics and how to best utilise these in the digital space. You will explore how digital graphics can be used and how to best create appropriate digital graphics for your own use. This course is perfect for those that have no knowledge of how to create digital graphics.

This single unit qualification is designed for learners to develop an understanding of the different types of digital graphics and how they are used. They will research and plan design ideas in response to a client brief and learn how to manipulate digital graphics using photo and vector editing techniques to create bitmap and vector graphics for specific purposes. This unit also allows learners to obtain feedback on their work for review and further development.

Areas covered include:

• Principles of Digital Graphics

• Digital file formats and their appropriate use

• Creating Bitmap and Vector Digital Graphics for a variety of different applications

You will be assessed through a portfolio of work that you generate as you progress through the course.

There are no specific entry requirements however a basic understanding of digital literacy will be required.
