Course Overview

This innovative and unique course offers a holistic approach to develop your academic and vocational skills to help you succeed in the creative industries.

You focus on creativity, specialist skills, new media and technology, and learn to respond to the challenges of a dynamic and rapidly changing range of professions in the creative industries.

The flexible nature of the curriculum content allows you to develop your own individual pathway or specialism within the broad subject areas of spatial design, product design, graphic design and interactive media. You have the opportunity to work in a professional design studio developing autonomy in your professional skills along with gaining an academic qualification.

This module introduces you to the basic principles of design communication. You will perform practical tasks to demonstrate your awareness of some of the key principles by means of techniques such as sketch, drawing, image-making, or model making. Through the study of design contexts, you will explore how other designers use visual language to communicate their ideas.
