Descrición

The creation and manipulation of images is one of the most common tasks in digital creative processes. The aim of this course is for participants to acquire the basic notions and skills for the treatment of images, from retouching or editing them, to creating them from scratch in a new composition with free forms, so that they not only acquire basic notions about editing programmes, but also about specific aspects of graphic design.

The main focus will be on GIMP, although there will be references to other image editing programs, which, like GIMP, are also open source, such as Krita, Scribus and Inkscape, among others. The main aim is to get the user used to the particular interface of Gimp while at the same time going over the most common tools and the key concepts necessary to understand any documentation, workshop or subsequent tutorial on these programmes.

Other interesting aspects will also be covered, such as how to search for and obtain images (sources of legal use of images for our compositions), how to differentiate between bitmap and vector images, when to use one or the other, how to integrate them in the same composition, and even how to transform images of one type into another.

Competencias a desenvolver

1. Know the main systems and models that underpin digital systems for the creation of digital graphics.
2. Knowing, obtaining and training in the use of digital tools for the creation and treatment of images.
3. To know in detail the working contours of image editing, as well as its tools and options.
4. To locate and obtain images in an ethical and legal manner to complement our graphic compositions.
5. Distinguish between different types of images and know their most appropriate use.
6. Create or modify any type of image, to combine it in any project.
7. To be aware of the basic concepts of colour, in order to be able to choose one colour mode or another when tackling a project.

Metodoloxía

The course is eminently practical. It will start with basic tasks such as removing red eyes, straightening and framing photographs, enhancing colours... and then gradually increase the complexity of the work to achieve more interesting and successful results.

We will use our own web resources, such as wikis and educational websites, which, in addition to serving as a repository of information, will also be used as methods for resolving doubts through forums and electronic messaging.

To complement this, 4 voluntary videoconferences of approximately 1 hour's duration will be held through the Zoom platform, in which doubts and other aspects and dynamics will be raised and solved.
