BA Visual Communication and Digital Publishing (In conjunction with the University of Abertay Dundee)
Graphic designers are at the forefront of a new communication revolution. In contemporary design there is a synthesis of old and new processes and an exploration of their potential without concern about respecting or erecting boundaries. In effect, the Graphic Design industry has become a digital democracy where more and more decisions are made through the accessibility of technology. The potential for creative input is vast and this course focuses on the development of this experimental new medium.
