This course is ideal for designers who want to build a practice that resonates with contemporary audiences, clients, and collaborators.
We believe that visual communication bridges areas such as graphic design for print, branding, spatial, motion design and immersive experiences. As a result the course is grounded in applying traditional graphic design to embrace a profound exploration of the craft at the same time as emerging visual technologies.
Building a responsible practice is a continuous commitment on this course you will develop the analytical qualities you need to sustain a responsible design practice.
You’ll refine and strengthen your core practices so you can acknowledge the past and challenge the future through an examination of typography to evolve a unique visual language and grammar.
We’ll introduce you to the research methodologies and concepts that will expand your expertise in sustainable projects. You’ll be supported to develop the co-design skills that form the foundation of considerate, critical practices that provide communication strategies for a more-than-human world.
This course will prepare you to become a thoughtful and responsible designer directing attention to UAL’s Climate, Racial and Social Justice principles. Our aim is for you to graduate with the knowledge, tools and resilience to tackle complex inequalities through a graphic design lens to provide visual communication strategies for a more diverse, inclusive, and accessible world.
