You will work as the leader of your project when you don’t only make a picture, but also think through everything from the concept to selling your work. You will learn to follow simple steps of working with adaptive design. You will create a case for your project, including the structure, text, music, sound and direction. You will then add a new design project arranged as a professional case to your portfolio.
