PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA/DEGREE IN GRAPHIC DESIGN

What is Diploma/Degree in Graphic Design?

The Diploma/Degree in Graphic design is a craft where professionals create visual content to communicate messages. By applying visual hierarchy and page layout techniques, designers use typography and pictures to meet users’ specific needs and focus on the logic of displaying elements in interactive designs, to optimize the user experience.

According to the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), graphic design is defined as “the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content.” In other terms, graphic design communicates certain ideas or messages in a visual way. These visuals can be as simple as a business logo, or as complex as page layouts on a website.

Why Should You Study Diploma/Degree in Graphic Design?

Do you tend to draw out specific points of what your teachers are saying in class? Or maybe you love putting your thoughts into visual representations? These are some habits you may possess that can make taking up a Graphic Design course seem like a no-brainer.

Here are more reasons why you can consider taking up a course in Graphic Design.

  1. You enjoy the challenges of visual communication
    Yes, conveying specific messages through graphics may sound like an easy thing to do. But with so many visuals around us screaming for our attention, an averagely designed graphic will not cut it anymore.
    The real challenge lies in creating impactful yet attractive and engaging visuals.
    If you enjoy the challenge in creating visuals that are attention-grabbing and easy to understand, then you’ll certainly enjoy studying Graphic Design.
  2. You want to work in fun and creative industries
    If the mere thought of being confined to a cubicle and 9-to-5 job makes you cringe in horror, perhaps a more sociable and exciting work setting would suit you well.
    Studying in Graphic Design will certainly give you access to multiple industries with a fun and inclusive working culture that thrives on creativity!
    Even though the notion of work-life balance can seem remote to you, you will certainly learn how to ‘work hard, play hard’.
  3. You love spending time on design websites, magazines and books
    Love admiring books with creatively-designed pictures instead of those filled with texts?
    If you’d rather spend your pastime admiring and interpreting other people’s design instead of doing what other normal kids tend to do like play computer games or hang out with friends, then you definitely need to give Graphic Design a strong consideration.
    Graphic designers are some of the rare few who can appreciate and draw inspiration from creative graphics and images.
