Photography and Design Course Curriculum

Photography (6 ECTS)

Two different challenges will be presented to the students in Photography Books: solving graphically and editorially a book by a photographer chosen from among those proposed, with a series of production conditions that will develop creative attitudes; and, in a second moment, to design and edit a book with the photographs taken by the student himself during the workshop Photography realized with Manel Esclusa, without conditions and with the fundamental objective of making and presenting a book of photographic authorship.

Periodical Publications (6 ECTS)
