Course Overview

This program is designed for individuals who are interested in applying their creativity to communicating ideas and concepts in both print and interactive media. Students are prepared for graphic design careers, through strong, practical and theoretical training in typography, the basic fundamentals of creativity, design, image, form, and colour. The program includes extensive hands-on training in industry-standard software tools, which allow students to present their design solutions in a variety of formats.

Graphic designers are problem-solvers who research and manage visual design projects. They establish a project’s goals and objectives, analyze needs/problems, develop visual solutions, and prepare conceptual presentations for client approval, which range from sketches to prototypes to interactive mockups.

Designers develop concepts in consultation with clients and work with photographers, illustrators, programmers, developers and other creative professionals to produce print and interactive work. Graphic designers focus on print media including brochures, logos and brand materials, promotional posters, signage, packaging, publication design, as well as web design, motion graphics and design for interactive media.

Students begin by studying the design fundamentals for print and interactive media. Graduates produce a comprehensive design portfolio profiling their skills and abilities, and have the opportunity to display their best work on a platform managed by them on our website.

The training is split into seven sections: (1) Design Theory (Design Principles and Design Elements), (2) Software Training and Drills (CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign), (3) Conceptualisation, (4) Advertising (5) Brand Identity, (6) Strategy and (7) Pre-press Management.

At the end of your course, you would be required to present and defend your project, after which, we'd have the Pre-press Management class. It is also noteworthy that we take students' assignments very seriously, as the goal of the training is to see students build a rich design portfolio at the end of the course.
