In this one-hour masterclass with an academic and/or ambassadors, students will develop their understanding of some of the basic principles of Graphic Design. Through visual demonstrations and engaging talk we will look at Type, Colours, hierarchy and form and how these elements help to create visually engaging communications. Students will deepen their understanding of the breadth of the wider world of graphic design, and open up perspective about the potential career opportunities, and develop their knowledge of what it is like to study Graphic Design at CCCU.
