A major study in Graphic Design combines the study of graphic design and design thinking with laboratory production components. Students are introduced to a range of graphic design techniques and practices across a number of conceptual, social and industry contexts including visual communication design, innovations in design practice and sustainability and ethics. The course encourages an interdisciplinary collaborative approach to the study and practice of creative print and screen-based design. Student work is shown throughout the year in one of the gallery spaces in the Faculty. What you will study: The first year of the course provides a strong foundation in visual and design concepts. During second year, students pursue specialised study in typography, branding, illustration, campaign graphics, editorial design, web design and design theory. Increasingly, student projects are concerned with design thinking, research methodology, collaboration and design innovation. Theory and production subjects run in parallel throughout the year. The focus in third year is upon developing advanced graphic design skills within a professional, innovative, applied and reflective context. Students develop advanced critical, conceptual and practical skills across client engagement, print and interactive media. The course culminates in a final year major project and public exhibition of students’ work within the Graduate Show.
