Prescribed Resources/Equipment

This unit requires students to have access to appropriate hardware and software for digital imaging. There is a large range of hardware and software available on campus in labs and the equipment store, but students may also need to supply their own equipment. Access to standard equipment such as a DSLR and the Adobe Suite is preferable but not mandatory, as students may choose to focus on other modes of production - e.g. 3D printing - depending on interest.

Prescribed Learning Resources may change in future Teaching Periods.
