| Comments |
Visual Communication Design includes the design of diverse information for both print and screen based media. From printed matter (newspapers, magazines, books, tickets, posters) to screen (web interfaces, film titles, television graphics and indents) through to environmental applications (exhibitions, signage systems), graphic design informs and assists us in almost everything we do. All of these call for creative thinking and an eye for detail.
