HOWTO - DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION LECTURE AT MERZ ACADEMY

A lecture at Merz Akademie, Research: Tutorial, Noob. Special Tag: High Level Folklore

Mission: The aim of the course is to use restricted consumer software to design unique items of our western culture and record this process in a video tutorial.

This lecture for 1st/2nd grade students of Merz Akademie had two missions:

• 1. Illustrate a cultural important piece with a ordinary consumer design software (from google to microsoft) - if possible develop a little story around this piece.
• 2. Make a documentation of this process and put it as video on your YouTube channel.

Beside knowing every lesson another software, getting experienced with design tools and common functions/workflows the course sharpens the awareness of Today's cultural objects and reflects the student‘s approach to the design task.
