This unit explores the forms, techniques and technologies that are used in the creative media industries to create digital images. It looks at the uses of image editing software like photoshop to create photo-based images, the creation of art in a purely digital workspace, and the ways images can be applied in still, moving, 2D and 3D contexts. This unit is designed to be valuable both to the digital media novice as well as students with previous experience. Through practical application of a selection of technologies, the unit provides students with an in-depth understanding of how modern media works, how we can use modern digital tools to express ideas, and how practitioners stay on top of an industry that always seems to be doing something new.
1. Identify and apply the technical principles of digital images;
2. Historicise key developments and trajectories of digital image technologies;
3. Identify key technologies and develop strategies for self-directed training and skills development; and

2. UC graduates are global citizens - understand issues in their profession from the perspective of other cultures
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - reflect on their own practice, updating and adapting their knowledge and skills for continual professional and academic development
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - evaluate and adopt new technology
