The role of Graphic Designer has transformed enormously with the development of the digital world. Our Graphic Communications course is current, exciting and bold, exploring emerging communication practices and technologies. Developed in consultation with industry, the course offers specialist employable skills in design thinking, design research methodologies and 21st century design practice. Through this course you will explore how Designers strategically utilise identity (branding) how information is used to encourage, persuade, and change mindsets (information graphics and data-led campaigns) and finally how we help the public navigate the world through signage and way finding (user experience, user interface and motion graphics). You’ll be encouraged to learn how to work with the public, clients, and others to understand the human-centered challenges they face and experiment with both new and traditional design practices and technologies to develop effective solutions to these problems.
