This program allows to combine the advantages of a project-based approach to the design education and digital competencies in a distance format, to train qualified professionals who can work both in the office and remotely in Russian or international companies, agencies, projects remotely.
The teaching process is based on the project approach: from the first class each student makes his/her own project, gaining design skills and knowledge of the history and theory of art and design. Student groups include no more than 25 people who study under the guidance of a group curator.
Starting with the creation of graphic compositions and posters, students will proceed to the development of a full-fledged brand identity. During the training students will design a multipage edition of a chosen format (booklet, magazine, book, etc.), create an animated film, perform a visual project in the environment, and at the same time master the basic design technologies (Adobe graphics package, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Timble Navigation SketchUp). As part of the program, students will form a quality portfolio that will help to establish themselves among the industry professionals.
Every year a student prepares at least four projects that he presents at public screenings to the examination board that can include teachers from all the campuses of HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL. All students’ projects are stored in the digital portfolio — a tool that allows one not only to track the professional progress of each student, but also gives an opportunity to a potential employer or customer to find a suitable employee among the students.
The educational program in this field of study was created by the well-known Russian designers and leading teachers of HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL — Eric Belousov, Pavel Borisovskiy, Igor Gurovich, Alexandra Kuznetsova, Arseniy Meshcheryakov, Prothey Temen.
