• Semester 1: Graphic designing & imaging (3 months)
  • Adobe Photoshop

    A popular high-end image editor for the Macintosh and Windows from Adobe. The original Mac versions were the first to bring affordable image editing down to the personal computer level in the late 1980s. Since then, Photoshop has become the de facto standard in image editing. Although it contains a large variety of image editing features, one of Photoshop's most powerful capabilities is layers, which allows images to be rearranged under and over each other for placement. Photoshop is designed to read from and convert to a raft of graphics formats, but uses its own native format for layers (.PSD extension).

  • Adobe Illustrator

    A full-featured drawing program for Windows and Macintosh from Adobe. It provides sophisticated tracing and text manipulation capabilities as well as color separations. Illustrator was originally developed for the Mac in 1987 and, up until Version 7.0, which was introduced in 1997, the Mac version included more features. The Macintosh version is the most widely used drawing and composition program for the Mac platform.

  • Adobe InDesign

    A full-featured desktop publishing program for Windows and Macintosh from Adobe. Introduced in 1999, InDesign superseded Adobe's PageMaker, which had been the de facto standard in the graphics arts industry for many years. In 2005, a server version of InDesign debuted with Adobe's Creative Suite 2 (CS2) for automating publishing tasks. Containing no user editing features, the server version supports JavaScript, AppleScript, VBScript and C++ programs. Third-party tools enable InDesign to work with Indian, Asian and other non-letter alphabets.

  • CorelDraw

    A drawing program for Windows and the Mac from Corel. Introduced in 1989, CorelDRAW has been Corel's flagship program, which became very popular due to its speed and features. CorelDRAW has been offered in various suites with other Corel programs, including at one time, the Corel VENTURA desktop publishing program.

  • Project Work

    Project Work refers to all of the assignments, products, and projects that students complete to demonstrate what they have learned. Student work could include creative designs, research papers, essays, presentations, tests, videos, and portfolios, among many other potential products.

• Semester 2: web designing & hosting (4 months)
  • HTML

    HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's words and images for the user. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element (but many people also refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end.

  • CSS

    A cascading style sheet (CSS) is a Web page derived from multiple sources with a defined order of precedence where the definitions of any style element conflict. The Cascading Style Sheet, level 1 (CSS1) recommendation from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which is implemented in the latest versions of the Netscape and Microsoft Web browsers, specifies the possible style sheets or statements that may determine how a given element is presented in a Web page.

  • DHTML

    Dynamic HTML is a collective term for a combination of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags and options that can make Web pages more animated and interactive than previous versions of HTML. Much of dynamic HTML is specified in HTML 4.0. Simple examples of dynamic HTML capabilities include having the color of a text heading change when a user passes a mouse over it and allowing a user to "drag and drop" an image to another place on a Web page. Dynamic HTML can allow Web documents to look and act like desktop applications or multimedia productions.

  • Javascript

    A widely used programming language that is embedded in most Web pages. Supported by all Web browsers, it enables interactive functions to be added to Web pages, which are otherwise static. JavaScript evolved from Netscape's LiveScript language. JavaScript Is Plain Text JavaScript source code is plain text that resides between Begin-Script and End-Script HTML tags in the Web page. Along with myriad other functions, JavaScript is used to enable interactive page elements such as navigation buttons and drop-down menus. It is also used to identify the page to analytics servers that capture traffic statistics.

  • Adobe Flash

    A multimedia authoring and playback system from Adobe. Flash content is created in authoring applications, such as Flash MX and Flash Professional, and viewed in any computer that has the Adobe Flash Player installed. Flash animations support space-efficient vector images, which download quickly; a feature that helped catapult Flash to success when dial-up access was the norm

  • Adobe Dreamweaver

    A comprehensive Web site authoring program for Windows and Mac from Adobe. Dreamweaver is a sophisticated authoring package that enables the HTML programmer to build complex interactive Web sites using HTML, JavaScript and server-side programming languages. It is not a wizzywig program, allowing the user to drag and drop images on any part of the page. In fact, many common Web elements are best coded in HTML, and Dreamweaver immediately renders the code in a design window. Prebuilt templates provide rudimentary foundations for creating Web pages. Dreamweaver was originally developed by Macromedia, which was acquired by Adobe in 2005.

  • Project Work

    Project Work refers to all of the assignments, products, and projects that students complete to demonstrate what they have learned. Student work could include creative designs, research papers, essays, presentations, tests, videos, and portfolios, among many other potential products.

• Semester 3: post production & VFX (4 months)
  • Adobe Premiere Pro

    Adobe Premiere Pro is a video editing software package suitable for both amateur enthusiasts and professionals. It can be purchased and used alone, or alongside other applications such as Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, etc.

  • Adobe After Effects

Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, rotoscoping, compositing and animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor and media transcoder.

  • Chroma concept(blue & green screen)

    In graphics and digital video editing programs, chroma key is a function that renders a specific color in a layer transparent. In television and film, it's the technique of using a monochromatic background for the purpose of replacing it with a different image or scene in post-production. In the film industry it's called blue screen.

  • Elastic Reality

    Elastic Reality was a warping and morphing software application available on Windows, Macintosh and Silicon Graphics workstations.

  • 3D Animation Concept

    3D animation is digitally modeled and manipulated by an animator. The animator usually starts by creating a 3D polygon mesh to manipulate. A mesh typically includes many vertices that are connected by edges and faces, to give the visual appearance of form to a 3D object or 3D environment. Sometimes, the mesh is given an internal digital skeletal structure called an armature that can be used to control the mesh by weighting the vertices. This process is called rigging and can be used in conjunction with keyframes to create movement.
