This creative course mixes design and theory, focusing on the visual communication of brands, products and services across the global fashion and lifestyle industries.

Develop visual communication skills across a range of creative media, including photography and styling, art direction and graphics, print and digital design, film, interactive media, 3D and retail design.

Explore how brands communicate their key messages across promotional platforms such as branding, advertising, print, digital and social media, visual merchandising, retail environments, events and experimental marketing.

Combining your theoretical understanding of the relationships between design codes, brand narratives and visual communication, you’ll learn how to generate great ideas that stand up to be tested in a business context. Although this is a creative course, you don’t need to have a background in art, design or fashion, or have a creative portfolio.

Negotiated Projects (120 credit points)

During this module you’ll work on individual and team negotiated projects. Your individual project will be self-devised, and you’ll choose your team project from a number of live projects on offer.

In phase one you’ll start to negotiate your project ideas, and undertake a range of activities that will allow you to apply the skills and knowledge you’ve acquired during the course. For the live project you’ll select a project and a team, meet your clients, and start contextual research and idea development.

In phase two you’ll focus on the concept and execution of your projects. Your individual project will be supported with dedicated tutorials, lectures and seminars. During your live project you’ll have interaction and feedback from the client.

Exhibit your work as part of our Degree Show, and contribute to the PR, marketing, promotion and communication, and event management. You’ll showcase an online digital portfolio with your best work from the course, and selected creative visual outcomes from your final year.
