Course Summary

BA Graphic Communication Design supports interdisciplinary, hybrid and specialist designers. This course aims to equip you with the creative, conceptual, technical and meta-level thinking skills expected of designers in the twenty-first century. It is part of the Graphic Communication Design programme. Graphic communication design practice is changing. The wide availability of design software and digital production tools has resulted in a re-evaluation of what the trained, skilled designer can offer. In response, design professions have developed more sophisticated consultancy models. Design thinking, marketing, branding and strategy are now offered as a central part of their services. Graphic communication design is also increasingly carried out in a diverse range of contexts. These range from large commercial and governmental departments to independent practitioners and small enterprises. BA Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins takes into account this current industry climate. It explores graphic communication design as an expanded practice. It will provide you with a solid grounding in the discipline's core languages, contexts and applications, while also encouraging you to test and stretch its boundaries. The course curriculum places emphasis on five core processes: typography, digital, context, image and print. These are taught throughout the course and will provide a foundation for your studio work and theoretical studies. Led by staff specialists, you will also be introduced to areas such as photography, printmaking and bookbinding. **About Central Saint Martins** Central Saint Martins is a world-renowned arts and design college which brings together a diverse range of creative practices under one roof.
