Overview
Your tutor will share their tips and experiences from working in the world of art, design and visual communication, and will offer clear guidance to help you improve your projects.
This Graphic Design Essential Building Blocks course at the University of the Arts London (UAL) focuses on conceptual development and ideas; you'll be encouraged to think laterally and develop work that demonstrates design skills that are both individual and distinctive.
You will experiment with photography, collage and illustration in your approach whilst also developing and practising your presentation skills. You’ll utilise simple drawing and rough work to generate ideas quickly and gain confidence to express them clearly.
You will be advised about design software, and which programs would be appropriate to finalise ideas; computer use is; however, optional on this course. Off-site field trips or research visits may also be included.
Course outcomes
You will be more confident about responding to real-life graphic design briefs and applying for graphic design roles. You’ll improve your decision making process and will increase your ability to present ideas and concepts effectively. You will leave with strong projects to add your design portfolio that will show your visual thinking, individuality and skills.
