Minor content
Together with talented fellow-students, you’ll be working on a perfect integration of design and audio elements to produce a work of art fit to be shown at exhibitions, events, in real life, or on the internet. You’ll need to have some (basic) skills already in visual- and/or sound design. And lots of creative talent. And, perhaps most important of all, the will and enthusiasm to overcome all the problems and pitfalls that are a creative artist’s lot.

Structure of the minor

If this description fits you then here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to kick-start your creativity
• How to collaborate in a group consisting of visual design- and sound specialists
