This exciting and stimulating Graphics course aims to develop students’ ability to communicate, provoke thought and elicit reaction from an audience. Professional graphics packages are used throughout the course, with a focus on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop on the AS course. The AS course is carefully structured to develop the skills you need and the A2 year gives you more freedom to develop your strengths and interests. The course covers a broad range of traditional techniques including drawing and visualising, painting and mixed media. The use of typography is integral to all projects; either hand rendered or computer generated. Amongst the areas explored as part of this course are: illustration, advertising & packaging, animation, visual communication and computer graphics.
