From Photoshop to Flash - all the skills you need to exploit your graphics talent!

Course Overview

A more extensive design course, combining professional graphic design for print media with the specialist skills required for design for the web.

The course is taught on Apple Macintosh, using industry standard software including Adobe CS suite Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, as well as web specific Dreamweaver and Flash. Students are taught how to use these packages to proficiency level, giving them the ability to set up print documents, manipulate images, draw logos and create websites to a professional industry standard. But acquiring proficiency with the software tools is only part of the objective of the programme. It is also our aim to help you think creatively!

Students graduating from the programme have an excellent preparation for a hands-on role in a digital design work environment. This is true whether they are going on to join a large design studio in an agency environment or are simply looking to have the ability to do their own design.
