To develop this project, students will learn the basics of digital photography, web development, social media analytics, graphic design software and other digital platforms. This hands-on, practice-based learning is supported by theoretical and historical perspectives on digital platforms, with consideration given to the ways that they work on both technological and social levels. You will learn to apply principles to practice in response to the rise of a media-driven, technology-oriented economy worldwide.
