Communication and Graphic Design
With great graphic design comes great responsibility! Now more than ever, visual messaging is a huge part of how brands communicate to their customers. The success of a campaign or a product can live or die on its visual presentation.
Combine strategy, conceptual thinking and design to bring ideas to life.
The role of the communications and graphic designer is rapidly evolving with today’s technological demands. Beautiful communications alone no longer cut the mustard. Designers need to be multifaceted, combining strategy, conceptual thinking, visual design skills and production knowledge across digital and print to bring ideas to life.
Our communication and graphic design courses will develop your design thinking and practice in order to prepare you to thrive in today’s fast-paced digital environment. Learn core specialisms such as typography, image-making, brand and identity, 3D form packaging, information design, web design and publication design. Then combine them with strategy, concept development and design to create razor-sharp ideas that cut through the competition.
Good design is essential in almost every industry. You’ll find career opportunities (and plenty of our alumni) in design firms, advertising, publishing, merchandising and more. Need more options? No problem. Broaden your prospects by getting a double degree.
