Learning Flow
Students move from research to finished public-facing work.
- 1Research the audience and context
Students gather references, define the communication problem, and decide what the work must achieve.
- 2Prototype across media
Sketches become layouts, digital files, package mockups, animation tests, print proofs, or exhibition samples.
- 3Present, revise, and publish
Work is defended through critique, corrected for production, then prepared for portfolio, exhibition, or public service.
Progression
Move from foundation craft into advanced design research and professional output.
The Department supports practical learning, staff supervision, portfolio development, public exhibition, and industry-facing project work.
