Handbook

This course offers you an introductory opportunity to develop critical skills in the creation of graphic images through photography and various types of illustration. You will then begin to understand how to manipulate typography within formal grids and structures, and as an expressive medium. Graphic design is built on a sound understanding of the relationship between image and type.

Whether you are intending to work either commercially or experimentally within the visual communications industry, or as a design entrepreneur working in another context, this course will provide you with fundamental graphic design skills. Through application to your individual practice, you will understand the importance of research, an iterative design process, ethical considerations, as well as the personal and presentation skills required to communicate a concept.
