Graphic Design is a powerful medium used to persuade, advertise or inform. You will develop skills on the course to use visual communication to create exciting designs for both print and moving image. Students will investigate traditional drawing and mark making alongside computer packages such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, AfterEffects and Cinema 4D. Graphic Design is about relaying information of any kind through the use of images, symbols, colours and words. The course offers the opportunity to communicate visually using both digital and traditional techniques such as drawing, print making and photography.
