What the college says

This course is designed to follow the GCSE Art & Design courses offered in Graphics, Textiles, Fine Art and Three Dimensional Design. It is recommended that one of these courses has been successfully completed at GCSE Level. Students will develop artistic and practical abilities through knowledge, understanding, skills and application for designing graphic outcomes. Graphic Communication encompasses a variety of design disciplines including Art, Photography, Typography and Media such as the Adobe suite, including Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, as well as animation and CAD/Web design. These elements are firmly rooted into producing highly original and vibrant graphic outcomes, often to a live design brief. This course contains a personal investigation, usually identified in conjunction with a business or commercial client. Students work closely with their client to deliver appropriate, marketable graphic outcomes. A written prose is also be required of between 1000 and 3000 words, based around individual investigations, which demonstrates the student’s ability to construct and develop a sustained line of reasoning from an initial brief to a final realisation. There is also an externally set practical assignment including a development period preceding a supervised examination. The summary of components is as follows: • Unit 1: Personal Investigation • Unit 2: A2 Externally Set Assignment
