Content

Digital Design is the first course in the Learning CMD learning line, where students learn basic skills of CMD: design with digital technology. In Digital Design, students are introduced to various design theories and design techniques and programs and the application of technology. In addition, the students are introduced to the MakerSpace. Digital Design is offered in three parts: the Body of Knowledge (BOK), Creative Design (DC) and Creative Technology (CT). This course lays the foundation for knowledge and skills for CMD students, which they can also apply in other blocks.

The acquired knowledge and skills are tested in a portfolio that brings together a number of assignments in the field of creativity, design, programming and digital techniques. In this course you learn how to design and develop digital products in a creative way.
