Summary
Our MA Visual Communication programme encourages the development of an individual and distinctive contemporary graphics practice through considered engagement with current contexts and audiences.
Ethos The MA Visual Communication brings together design-led and research-driven approaches to an increasingly important practice and field of study. Our programme takes a critically informed and widely experimental approach to the production, form and circulation of ‘message’. The programme is ideas-driven, and devised to assist you in developing your unique approach within the broad field of contemporary communication-led practices, including graphic design, information design, typography, packaging design, branding, and more. You will engage in design thinking and research-centred projects, developing visual literacies through iterative design.
Outline Through your work, you will develop a critical framework that will enable you to take on complex ideas and respond to commercial demands. The programme addresses areas of information design, work motivated by social needs, local, national and global contexts, and commercial propositions. You will develop a critical understanding of your subject by testing and evaluating contemporary techniques and a combination of processes, from letterpress, laser cutting, animation, photography and screen printing, to the latest software suites. Taught delivery within the programme provides a mix of discipline-specific methods and cross-disciplinary approaches that can be applied across creative and commercial sectors. Our shared module structure allows you to develop a dialogue with creative practitioners across the Graduate School.
Supported practices This programme supports critically-investigative practices in graphic design, motion graphics, information design, moving image and typography.
