DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE
Cambridge IGCSE Graphic Communication course allows students to show ideas, themes and sources used to respond to a design brief, whilst expanding upon technical processes, including computer-generated imagery and personal digital media. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of both historical and contemporary graphics, as well as working towards appropriate market solutions. They will analyse design briefs, and tackle practical design tasks. Students are encouraged to work in any medium, including photography and computer-manipulated imagery, providing the majority of images are from the candidates’ first-hand studies from primary research.
Independent development of ideas and experimentation with a wide range of medium, is an essential component of the course.
