Course Objectives

This course is designed to guide students in developing the fundamental knowledge, skills, techniques, and terminology required for competence in the field of design. Students are expected to understand and effectively use the basic concepts and terminology of design, to think and conceptualize in three dimensions, and to analyze images, objects, and spatial compositions.

Course Content

This course aims to teach fundamental design concepts such as form, pattern, color, composition, texture, and shadow, as well as the principles of two- and three-dimensional design and various presentation techniques. Students are guided to identify and apply relevant design theories that can be used in solving different visual design problems.
