Objectifs

Design Basics: students will be given a major overview of the most common practices in graphic design: visual identity design, user interface design, advertising design, packaging design, environmental graphic design etc. They will be introduced to the basic tools for design: learning the basic functions of Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. They will also be introduced to a number of online platforms that can help achieve more complex results. 

 

Principles of design: students will be introduced to a number of basic design principles. The course will address topics such as colour theory, layout design, branding, typography, and composition, through questions such as: How can you influence the way a design is perceived? How can you enhance the usability of a design? How can you increase the appeal of a design?  

 

Methods of design: we will look at some of the most widely applicable and effective methods of design—research, analysis, and ideation, through a number of case studies. This will give students an insight into how they might research and analyse their own designs. 

 

Design in Marketing: understanding that design in marketing is more than logos, colours, and page layouts — it is the corpus callosum, connecting your company to your brand, and therefore to your customer. The rise of social media, and the interpolation of advertising on these platforms demands a fast-paced and well-prepared approach to design.
