Why study Graphic Design?

Graphic Design teaches you how to communicate using text, image and form to make visual connections and craft the seeds of ideas and information into meaningful interactions.

Design shapes the world around us and the demand for designers is set to grow in the coming years. Visual communication is an important aspect of almost every industry, with those who build their career in the field in the privileged position of having choices about where and how they want to work. Creative types dreaming of following their passion can have the best of both worlds, gaining an abundance of experience in the field, as well as coveted skills along the way.
