During the course you will develops skills in two main areas — 2D graphics, and 3D and pictorial graphics

You will need to apply these skills to produce graphics with visual impact that communicate information effectively.

In 2D graphic communication you will need to develop creativity and good 2D graphic presentation skills so you can come up with, plan, develop and communicate your design ideas using 2D graphic techniques.

In 3D and pictorial graphic communication you will need to develop creativity and presentation skills in completing 3D and pictorial graphics so you can come up with, plan, develop and communicate design ideas using 3D and pictorial graphic techniques.

While you complete tasks in these areas you will also develop spatial awareness, visual literacy, and the ability to interpret given drawings, diagrams and other graphics.

The skills you develop will enable you to evaluate your work, and the work of others, and explain how effective graphic communication designs are in meeting their purpose.
