Graphic and Communication Design Short Course

Through a series of weekly projects, homework and group critiques, students on this 5-week evening course gain experience discussing and resolving their designs.

The course starts from the viewpoint that there is no such thing as a perfect design and works from there. Students are encouraged to develop design ideas through group critiques by providing and receiving feedback.

Group critiques also enable students to learn and use design terminology while developing their critical dialogue with graphic design practices.

Course outcomes

By the end of the course students should be able to:

• Analyse, evaluate and critique their own works and the works of others

• Accept and understand feedback

• Incorporate feedback into resolved designs
