Student Work
There is little in our world that is not branded, designed, displayed on a screen, printed on paper, or broadcast across the airwaves. Just look around, it is evident that our world is fuelled by media. Corporate identities thrive on marketing their brand, image, and message through every available medium. Whether it is advertising through social media, books, magazines, posters, billboards, etc., most use creative advertising and graphic design to promote awareness and interest in their company and products.
Our graduates have the knowledge to create and successfully implement professional design and advertising campaigns for advertising agencies, design studios, in-house design and marketing departments, interactive studios, sales promotion companies, or magazine editorial designers. Freelance opportunities in art direction and design are expanding and can be very lucrative.
