Editorial design is about constructing editorial content for a media production or event (magazin, exhibition, performance, presentation, application) with focus on both content and design. Depending on the individual choice of interpretation and visualisation of content, the result can contain visual elements like text, photos, illustrations, animations, movies or anything else that emphazises and communicates the chosen topic in the best way.
In accordance with the National Qualifications Framework the student will achieve the following learning outcomes after completing the course:
Students will
- acquire extended knowledge in visualising content by research
- acquire extended knowledge about layout skills
Students will
- acquire extended skills in editorial planning, including aspects of journalistic research and design planning
Students will
- have aquired an understanding of editorial design, its relation/response to research and its visual presentation that will help them to develop versatile knowledge for different target groups and customers
The students will develop editorial design products based on group work. Lectures related to design, production planning and relevant software will be given during the course. By regulary scheduled meetings the students will receive continously feedback. The project will be based on research, interviews, photos, illustrations and own articles. A given topic will be the framework for the project.
The group work is to be presented in a final meeting to the entire class as part of the assessment process. The final hand-in document - a portfolio with two components - will contain the group´s visual work, and an individual learning reflection report, documenting the chosen strategy and arguing for the applied methods and steps:
