The aims of this course are to introduce you to how graphic design, illustration and typography are taught in the UK, to build confidence when researching new ideas through short projects and to enable you to present your designs, both verbally and in a two-dimensional format.

This course will include:

• use of drawing and colour materials in presenting design ideas
• research skills - how to use the resources of London (shops, museums and galleries) as sources of inspiration
• working from a brief - how to solve problems regarding text and image using design, illustration and typography
• lectures on current graphic design and a visit to an exhibition/gallery to explore the relationship between design in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
