Graphic Design: Information & Interface enables students to further develop their emergent design practice by addressing complex design challenges and engaging with a variety of formats. Innovation and strategic thinking are required to produce refined design and communication solutions.

Students will enhance their proficiency with analogue and digital techniques, tackling complex design challenges across formats and interfaces.

They will explore, select, and apply advanced design techniques and materials, enhancing their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They will learn to convey compelling narratives through visual storytelling in diverse contexts.

Through project specific workshops and activities, students will be supported in developing their skills. These experiences, along with ongoing feedback and self-reflection, will enable students to critically assess their work and articulate informed rationales for both their design and material decisions, ultimately achieving professional standards in their practice.
