Graphic Communication Design
Creativity, visual communication, graphic design, and visual culture.
If you are inspired by visual communication and project-based learning, the Graphic Communication Design course is the ideal choice. Throughout the course, you will explore the many dimensions of graphic design and visual culture, preparing you to communicate effectively across different media - such as print on paper or fabric, digital platforms, multimedia environments, social media, websites, video, and animation.
From digital photo processing to creating appealing illustrations, distinctive logos, expressive typography, and coherent visual identities for companies, products, or services, you will learn to develop design work that captures attention and conveys messages clearly. In both print and digital media, you will have the chance to try a wide range of tools and techniques, producing work for formats such as posters, magazines, ads, packaging, animations, websites, videos, and much more.
This practical course will give you the knowledge and skills you need to conceive and deliver effective graphic design projects, from the initial idea to the final handoff.
