Description
This qualification is for learners who want to gain skills, knowledge and attitudes needed to develop and communicate creative graphic design solutions across the areas of print and digital design. Learners extend their creative thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills that underpin a successful design solution while building on their experiences in the handling of relevant media, techniques and technologies. They learn to work innovatively within the constraints of the brief, available resources, technology and the demands of the graphic design industry, with emphasis being placed on the development of a visual vocabulary, strong image concepts, visual problem solving and communication and perceptual skills.
