Bachelor of Communication Design at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Australia
Communication Design at RMIT
This program takes the practice of graphic design and incorporates communication strategies within it. It recognises that the designer must work with more than visual technologies and have a greater diversity of professional skills that will be required of them in the industry.
You will develop a unique visual language based on a thorough knowledge of conceptual and design principles, combined with your individual design aesthetic. You will gain a strong knowledge of the technologies and media for production.
The program prepares you as a designer, to interact with groups of people from various creative backgrounds, who have different methods of identifying and addressing the design problem.
Throughout the program you will develop skills in negotiating a consensus among participants with a range of interests in the design outcome.
You will also learn how a visual strategy can contribute to all phases of the problem-solving process. You can participate in courses from communication courses within the School of Applied Communication and other design disciplines as electives or interdisciplinary projects.
