In an interactive and digital age, graphic design and communication through images has become a universal language of our time and a growth industry in the UK. With the endless possibilities of digital manipulation and the free flow of quick and interactive media offered by the internet, there has never been a more exciting time to study this subject. As one of the Art and Design suite of courses, Graphics has a strong grounding in illustration and drawing, using both traditional and industry standard digital production methods. Each year of the course has two units and for each unit you will create a product that communicates your visual ideas along a given theme. As well as practical workshops and skills development, you will learn and become familiar with the critical and theoretical side of the subject, exploring the relationship between client, producer and audience. Areas of study include, advertising, illustration, packaging, typography and interactive media. The course is based in a wellequipped classroom with the resources needed for hand illustration and PCs and printers for digital work. You will also be able to use our darkroom and drawing and painting equipment in other specialist rooms. Film and digital SLR cameras are available to borrow if you need to. 45 As part of the course, you will visit galleries and exhibitions, locally and in London.
