Graphic Design

Students will gain broad-based knowledge on a variety of design communications disciplines, including advertising, branding, visual identity, packaging and design management. The incorporation of design management modules into the curriculum arms the students with an acute understanding of management thinking and deployment of business strategies in the competitive marketplace. Overall, this programme develops students’ conceptual and ideas generation abilities to produce innovative and effective communication solutions/products through print and/or online mediums.

Multimedia

Students that elect to study multimedia will acquire life drawing skills and software rendering techniques for the development of cartoon characters and animated background. Apart from honing visual conceptualisation expertise to create 2D and 3D animation for the various multimedia platforms – including internet, digital, television and movies – the curriculum also equips the students with ideas generation abilities for the development of stories. Students will also get heightened exposure through cross training opportunities, such as to participate in the production of animated short films, collectively or individually.
