Course content
This course introduces you to the basic principles of displaying graphical information, including the historical context of the emergence of computer graphics as a field. Knowledge of basic compression methods and vector and raster formats, including software that allows you to work with these two basic graphic data formats, is also an integral part of the theoretical preparation for this course. The practical part of the course is focused on real work with selected programs for raster and vector graphics, presentation programs and their technical accessories, including the development of a practical seminar paper with the possibility of independent creation of a logo.
