UPDATED 20160908 09:53:03

A Level Graphic Communication is a visually creative course where you learn new skills in both traditional methods and digital software for graphic design outcomes. You'll explore a range of graphic media, techniques and processes, using both traditional and new technologies as part of this stimulating and practical course. Four elements make up the course, research, experimentation, refinement and digital final work. All elements will include traditional art and design techniques that have digital outcomes. The course offers a range of activities that are set outside of the course work projects, from Adobe Photoshop skills and Adobe Illustrator along with drawing/mounting skills. The course will equip you with the skills to progress to higher education and provide you with a strong base for employment in line with industry practice skills and knowledge.
