About Viscom
Visual communication design is the use of words and images in graphic design, advertising, websites, film and television, gaming and publishing. In the vast world of contemporary professional communications, designers are developing their discipline or inventing new roles for themselves.
The BDes Hons Design for Visual Communication course seeks to develop practical and theoretical skills in students that enable them to address both given projects and their own work through the use of various media, not all of which are computer based.
Practical work is evidenced through a range of opportunities including typography, illustration, photography and motion for contexts such as web design, animation, print, screen and the urban environment. Central to all of these is an understanding of the processes and practices of Graphic Design.
The DVC course is designed to provide an integrated learning experience which combines practical skills with the history and theory of visual communication. Applicants should be interested in words, pictures and ideas, willing to problem solve, be enthusiastic and adapt to change.
