BIC: Pre-Press for Publishing

An understanding of colour is vital for everyone involved in the design and production of print books. Taught by a pre-press expert at its premises this is an interactive course focusing on the pre-press workflow from image selection to file supply whether that be a file for print or digital distribution.

Using a combination of seminar, activities and practical demonstrations, the course will help you:
