This course is conducted in the Czech language.

Develop your practical and creative skills in graphic design under the guidance of Marta Maštálková.

In this course, we will focus on the fundamentals of graphic design and its role in public spaces. Together, we will explore several techniques that can help in finding inspiration and conceptual solutions. We will cover basic information about typography, composition, and colors. Additionally, we will discuss selected Czech and international graphic design studios. We will address the functionality and purpose of graphic design in public spaces, delve into the work of a graphic designer, and explore their communication with clients. Our aim is not just to fulfill the client’s imagined wishes but to develop our own authentic approach, which will give us more confidence in presenting and defending our designs. The course is primarily conducted through practical tasks, during which we will develop and deepen the skills mentioned above.

Course content:
• From idea to realization: the design process, supportive techniques, preparation for implementation and presentation, final output, and its defense.
