Digital Art in the LRC The LRC has recently purchased eleven brand new Apple Mac computers which are available in both the 1st and the 2nd floor LRC. These computers are especially suitable for our digital design students and come with a super cool bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Our Adobe package is installed on all the new Macs and allows students access to programs like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Lightroom, After Effects, Indesign, Illustrator, Animate, Audition and Dreamweaver, which are particularly beneficial for our visual art and computer students looking to work in the creative industries. So whether you are a graphic designer, an animator, a website designer, a music producer or sound artist, a film maker or a photographer, the LRC has all the latest tech to suit your creative needs.
Graphics tablets are also available as well as a fantastic selection of art books featuring artists such as Takashi Murakami whose work is heavily influenced by anime and manga, and minimalist illustrator Malika Favre whose graphics reflect the pop art and op art style. So keep an eye out next year for the LRC’s enrichment workshops which will show learners the basics of using a handful of the Adobe programs. Check out the LRC on our socials for more information. @BCLRC (Twitter & Instagram) @boltoncollegelrc (facebook)
