This course focuses on understanding and applying digital illustration tools, with an emphasis on Adobe Photoshop. Through a lab component, trainees develop skills in bitmap image editing, working with colour, contrast, selection, layers, masks, and brushes. The programme includes exercises and practical projects that encourage experimentation and problem solving. Inspired by the Blue Design Alliance's mission, it encourages the creation of projects that value sustainability and water conservation. At the end, participants will be prepared to work in digital illustration, concept art and animation, with artistic and environmental awareness.
