Abstract
This article presents the findings of the research into improving design professional training by means of project activities alongside art and multimedia technologies (MTs). It discusses the role of artistic skills in the success of project activities, in particular, the skills of visual representation of the environment via MTs. It was confirmed that the development of media significantly changed the technological potential of design, as well as its artistic value. Therefore, professional training content became the primary focus of attention, since it appeared vital to involve new forms of creating artistic design projects with such modern methods as media fusion and motion graphics. The development of digital technologies promoted changes in teaching methods, adjustments in curricula according to the demands of modern design and those of introducing creative approaches in project activity teaching. The experimental part of the study demonstrates the dynamics of forming professional project skills on the authors’ special course ‘Multimedia Technologies’.
