Course detail

Studio I - Game Media - summer

FaVU-B1MU-LAcad. year: 2023/2024

The course focuses on developing an authorial attitude towards game design, including an approach to the graphic, sound and thematic aspects of game design. Based on the experience gained so far, emphasis is placed on strengthening the ability to design and realize games beyond conventional approaches, in any segment of game development. Students process physical or other image sources, for subsequent digitization and digital post-production. In doing so, they learn to work with visual and design stylization that can be applied in digital and physical audiovisual spaces.
