Media designer - image and sound

In the age of media, we are constantly surrounded by images and sounds. But we usually know very little about where and how images and sounds are created. A media designer for image and sound, on the other hand, is an expert in this field. They are involved in the creation process of a medium from start to finish - from preparation and production to editing and distribution. Training as a media designer for image and sound introduces you to the requirements and processes of the media world.

What does a media designer actually do?

During your training you will learn
