The Graphic Design pathway covers a range of modules. Graphic Design is everywhere from magazines to televised adverts and they all start with a concept. The opportunity to develop the next big brand or direct mail campaign starts with an education. The programme focuses on ideas and innovation, delivered using the latest cloud-based industry software and the movement from the more traditional print based and web based design solutions to interactive and moving graphics.
The FdA encompasses visits to design consultancies and advertising agencies and the opportunity to work alongside local design practitioners. The course provides students with foundations and the graphic design skills required for the expansive and creative industry.
