Diploma
Study the Diploma of Graphic Design and you will develop advanced techniques in InDesign and Illustrator and use them to design annual reports, corporate identities, packaging and other press-ready artwork.
The Diploma also provides in-depth exposure to web design using WordPress and Squarespace platforms, user interfaces and app development using Figma, 2D motion graphics using After Effects and the current trend of UX/UI Design (User Experience).
You will also learn 3D modelling using Trimble Sketchup to assist in visualising packaging, signage and concept art and bring them to life with Blender 3D and Adobe Stager.
The Diploma course also gives you the opportunity to continue more advanced explorations into concept development, creative thinking, online social media advertising and digital illustration using our iPad and ProCreate lab.
We usually run several live briefs with external clients, mainly not-for-profit organisations, to replicate real client experiences. From this exposure you will also learn about the business aspect of graphic design in the freelance cluster of units.
The Diploma paves the way for the Advanced Diploma, and at Diploma level it is expected that you will work at a certain level of autonomy regarding research and time management. It is not uncommon for students at this level to gain employment in the industry, where you have access to workplace assessment or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
