Graphic design training activities aimed at the acquisition of professional skills: the third conference of audiovisual journalism

Abstract

Nebrija University and specifically the School of Communication has always bets on making formative experiences closely related to the professional world, for example, festivals as Young people touched by advertising, Festival of Short Films AdN and the Journalism Competition Nipho. 
This time the purpose of this article is to integrate the third conference of Audiovisual Journalism as an academic activity directed from the graphic design classroom. Real cases to which I refer and I wish to share have been developed during the academic year 2010/2011, specifically, in the subjects ofGraphic design elements (degree in Journalism) and Advertising Design Tools (degree in Advertising). The conference served for specific training of students in the two professional profiles previously mentioned. The journalism students had to make a double page whose content was an interview and a chronic; advertising students had to design an advertising poster. The ultimate goal of both formative experiences was to turned the classroom in a living espace of learning.
