Description

We live in the age of visual communications, of a language made of images, shapes and colours.

The areas of pertinence to the graphic designer range from designing the visual identity of a firm or a product to creating packaging and devising the graphics used in the supports for online and offline corporate communications.

As a result, graphic designers need to be able to combine their creative gifts with technical and production skills, a solid historical, critical and cultural background, the awareness to grasp the social dynamics and the contexts they work in, analytical skills and, above all, the ability to express synthesis.

Highlights

To be a graphic designer today means to possess the knowledge and technological competences necessary not only to design or to create communication instruments, it is also to act as an Art Director and develop cultural functions, acting as a director and manager of these communication events. The professional concerned with image and with visual communication is dedicated to creating complete project trajectories that come together through planning and coordinating activities and groups working in different areas including public and private clients, to merge into the international market.

Creative projects such as these require technical-productive knowledge, a solid historical-critical and cultural base, sensitivity to comprehend social dynamics and the contexts in which they take place, capacity for analysis, and above all, expressive synthesis. In order to create a complete profile of this professional, our courses offer participation in different areas: the digital new media, the corporate image; communication about the product; editorial graphics and collaboration with advertising and public relations agencies.
