Think of Graphic Communication as Commercial Art, it is about exploring ideas visually and creating beautiful outcomes that communicate a message, and have a commercial application. We always work to a brief and tight deadlines to prepare you for higher education and the design industry. We spend a lot of time researching, thinking around, and exploring ideas to help us come up with the best and most unique ways to respond to a brief. We work with a range of media; traditional paints, rollers, various printing techniques, collage, as well as using the latest edition of Adobe Creative Cloud software and 2D design to create work. With two laser cutters and two CAMM cutters in our department we are kitted out to be able to produce the best quality outcomes that look highly professional. We aim to set you up with a range of skills and a body of work, including a visual journal/sketchbook, that could be presented as a portfolio at interviews for University and Art Foundation courses. Many of our students have gone on to study a creative Graphics based course after finishing college. You are expected to work outside of lessons, and a reasonable expectation is that you would spend between three and five hours outside of the classroom working each week. You must have this level of motivation or you will find the course increasingly diffcult.
