Summary
MA Graphic Design – Contemporary Dialogues at Swansea College of Art is designed for recent graduates and individuals with professional experience in the industry who want to deepen their understanding of graphic design at a postgraduate level. This exciting course offers the opportunity to refine your creative ideas and improve your design practice, equipping you with the skills to thrive in the fast-paced creative industry.
Throughout the programme, you will explore the use of visual language to address complex, real-world design problems. Graphic design plays a vital role in tackling challenges within contemporary society, and you will learn how to use design as a tool for effective problem-solving. The course encourages you to think critically and creatively, providing you with the tools to engage in both practical and theoretical aspects of design.
As part of the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, you will develop new ways of thinking and approach your own design practice from fresh perspectives. You will examine how communication can be enhanced through design, using techniques such as metaphor, and explore how design can act as a trigger for thinking and feeling. By working at a cognitive level, you will develop the ability to create designs that not only look great but also resonate with diverse audiences.
The course places a strong emphasis on self-initiated research and experimentation, allowing you to pursue your own areas of interest within graphic design. You will be encouraged to push the boundaries of your practice and explore new design insights that can drive positive action in the industry.
By the end of the course, you will have gained valuable professional experience, learning how to respond to varied client needs and handle diverse briefs. This pathway will help you build a strong portfolio, refine your design thinking, and prepare you for a wide range of roles within the creative industry. It is ideal for those eager to advance their careers and develop as innovative, forward-thinking graphic designers.
