This course explores the fascinating relationship between design-led practice, industry engagement and critical analysis.
You will build a body of self-directed work informed by contemporary graphic design practice and emerging debates within the field of design. Driven by problem analysis, critical debate and design innovation you will develop briefs, engage with an audience and work collaboratively. Your investigation will explore the relationship between visual and contextual research, investigating the social, political and ethical contexts of your work.
You will be supported by a team with diverse research and practical interests within graphic design and visual culture, working closely with visiting industry speakers. You will source live briefs, work with clients and apply your contextual and industry informed knowledge and understanding to question why graphic design needs to exist and who is the audience - the focus is on becoming a problem seeker not just a problem solver.
