The Communication Design MA module is designed to help you develop observe and interpret visual skills that will allow you to become a successful and independent visual communicator.
This module will be addressing the elements and principles of design (line, colour, shape, texture, space, form, value, unity, balance, variety, scale, proportion, rhythm, emphasis). you are presented with visual problems to solve (by hand and digitally) on a weekly basis that relate to lecture topics. You should view your participation in this module as a time to acquire foundational skills, develop visual curiosity, research, and experiment. Emphasis is also placed on knowledge of design and the ability to analyse work verbally.
