What it is
The first year builds manual and digital skills through illustrations, covers, logos, pictograms and image identities. Year two covers book and magazine design, typography, packaging, branding, corporate identity and sustainable design, and year three turns to complex integrated projects, interactive and web graphics, mobile apps, UI and UX design and a diploma project. Teaching rests on individual consultations and project work on realistic briefs, supported by print workshops (screen printing, lithography, linocut, risography), laser cutters, 3D printers and bookbinding. You can specialise in Graphic Design or Packaging Design. Graduates work as freelance designers, art directors, illustrators and web or UI designers.
What you need
- Single PDF portfolio combining scanned handmade and digital work, plus a short motivation letter and a statement of ownership.
