More information
Introduction:
This course is aimed at those with an understanding of graphic design, ideally through professional experience or by having attended a beginner’s course at NTU or elsewhere.
The course is suitable for those wishing to hone and expand their creative skills with a focus on ideas, creative thinking and visual problem-solving, promoting their creativity at a professional, commercial audience.
Workshop and project-based sessions will combine theoretical discussions with practical applications.
Ideally, you should have some prior experience of Adobe InDesign and Illustrator at beginners’ level or above, though an introduction will be given if required.
And please note that this is not a software training course – the computer will only be used as a tool to realise some of your project work.
The course can help build a portfolio, or act as a subject refresher or expander for those considering degree level study or a change of career.
This intermediate course is intended to lead on from the beginner’s short course, although both can be taken independently.
-
You’ll be part of a design community in our creative studio culture; one that promotes discussion and collaboration, and encourages experimentation and the constant swapping of ideas. -
With a limited class size you'll have the one-to-one attention you need to ensure you leave with the skills to continue developing your designs at home or work. -
Benefit from learning with an experienced tutor who has established links to the profession and significant experience working in varied practices. -
On successful completion of the course you will receive a certificate of attendance.
