The course introduces students to the exciting, vibrant, and dynamic world of contemporary visual culture. The aim of the BA (Hons) Design for Visual Communication course is to teach the broad range of multi-disciplinary skills required to work successfully within the modern day visual communication industry. Today’s illustrators and designers require a breath of conceptual, technical, and theoretical skills to communicate their creative outcomes using a variety of appropriate print, screen, static, and/or motion solutions.The course will encourage you to explore a broad range of creative methods, practices, and processes and apply those skills to self-initiated, client-led, and practitioner-led ‘live’ briefs and projects that reflect the communication needs of modern day industry.The course places great emphasis on ideas being the starting position of good design as concept-driven ideas have the ability to be translated across a variety of creative disciplines and creative methods, practices, and processes. This strong conceptual foundation encourages you to develop and resolve your creative outcomes and explore how forms of communication interact and converge.The course allows you to develop strong creative methodology skills that are underpinned by research-based concepts. The creative methods, practices, and processes within the course will vary from established design software and traditional print production to print-on-demand newspapers and 3D printing.The importance of utilising creative and social media apps for the production and the communication of messages will be incorporated into the design process to enable you to make informed choices about the communication channels that you use.Throughout the course the discussion of contemporary issues will encourage you to investigate the culture and theory of communication design. These studies also develop research skills and your ability to structure your ideas and arguments.As you progress
