What is graphic design

Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, space, image, colour and then to convey this information across different platforms and media to an audience.

This can take the form of brand identity, advertising (traditional & digital), UX/UI, website design, packaging, apparel and editorial design.

What we do…
The Strohacker Design School Certificate in Graphic Design is a course that has been tailored to meet the practical and creative needs of a constantly changing industry.

On completion of the course students will have a printed portfolio book, plus a digital online version which will showcase their best projects.

In the months following the course we will also endeavour to assist students in finding work through our network of contacts.

We will also help students on an ongoing basis for the year following completion of the course with CV and portfolio workshops.

Our aim…

To construct a space where students can learn and be taught in a creative environment working on relevant professional projects.

This will enable students to gain the independent thought, attitude and industry skills that are needed in an ever-changing marketplace.
