Overview
The Graphic Design - Beginners course at the Central Saint Martins is also suitable for those wishing to discover and practice the fundamental principles of communication via the combination of text and image, perhaps as a first step into a new area of study, or simply to exercise an enquiring mind in a two-dimensional arena.
Key facts
- Each week you will gain experience applying these principles, by completing practical and realistic projects.
- Through this project work you will become familiar with techniques for working with images and fonts, designing layouts, and crafting logos and visual identities.
- The four projects can be tailored to your needs and can be related to current professional projects if required.
- The course does not cover the use of graphic design software, but you are welcome to complete projects using any software you wish, or none, as all projects can be completed working with hand tools (pens, pencils, paper, scissors, glue etc.).
