The course has a strong foundation in design and illustration, as it gives you the basics of how to design and illustrate well while producing work using a mixture of traditional (by hand) and digital techniques + processes. The type of designs you will produce include DVD covers, t shirts, shoeboxes, advertising, typeface design, corporate identity/logo design, magazine spreads and digital self portraits. We also work work on live assignments. During the two years, the work you produce within the units will give you the opportunity to improve your graphic skills, develop your use of appropriate materials, techniques and processes, learn how to use the design process, find out how to generate ideas and concepts and then how to visually communicate them to specific audiences.

You will work with skilled and experienced designers who have a long history of success in placing students both in higher education and industry. Coursework is assessed continuously through project work and a final major project will be assessed by exhibition.
