ECTS 7<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
WEEKLY TEACHING HOURS 6<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The eminently practical subject focuses on the realisation of projects where the aim is to develop professionalism and technical quality.
All exercises will simulate complex real projects, so the student will not only solve partial aspects, but will be confronted with the whole design process, from constraints to production.
Creativity and innovative solutions will be encouraged, but more consideration will be given to solutions that best fit the constraints and problems posed, together with appropriate adaptation to the means of production.
In the design process, there will always be an evaluation and verification of the decisions taken, so that no aspect is left unresolved.
All of this taking into account that the decisions and solutions are compatible and fully viable for production. To this end, special attention will be paid to the student's correct mastery of the technical and technological aspects.
The proposed exercises are subject to modification if the progress of the course so advises.
The intention is to work individually during the first four-month period, but not in the two projects of the second four-month period, as it is considered of interest that the students get used to working in a team, to listen to each other's assessments and to share out the roles.
The work may be coordinated with other subjects, and the latter may participate in the realisation of some aspects of the project. The eminently practical nature of the subject should allow and encourage students to apply the knowledge acquired in other subjects.
The defence of the work will be encouraged by means of public analysis and the production of reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This subject is defined as a continuation of Projects I and II. The aim of these two courses is to deal in depth with the most important areas of graphic design, tackling increasingly extensive and complex projects. This eminently practical discipline focuses on the realisation of projects where the development of professionalism and technical quality is undertaken. All exercises will simulate real complex projects, so the student will not only solve partial aspects, but will be confronted with the whole design process, from conditioning factors to production. Creativity and innovative solutions will be encouraged, but the solutions that are best suited to the constraints and problems posed will be taken into account to a greater extent, together with the appropriate adaptation to the means of production. To this end, special attention will be paid to the student's correct mastery of the technical\/technological aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
