Communication Design Studio 3

Course aim

To further develop students’ practical skill and theoretical knowledge for higher levels of research-led communication design practice, and to develop the abilities required for increasing levels of independence and collaboration, with awareness of the social, ethical and environmental concerns related to design practice.

Course content

Students will build on their skills in visual communication, design research methods and media to explore and
generate effective propositions to communication design tasks. Students will undertake research into
the narrative structures and functions of design and further investigate its relationship to all aspects of communication design and its visual and functional possibilities related to design in context. Students will
develop knowledge and skill in practices relevant to professional practice, developing awareness of the social,
ethical and environmental concerns related to design.
