As well as developing your skills as a designer or illustrator, this Level 5 programme will look at how you apply those skills in a commercial context allowing you to acquire the necessary knowledge to work successfully in the creative industries and build a career as a creative practitioner.
Understanding professional practice, developing collaborative working skills and learning how to manage creative projects successfully all form part of this key stage in your evolution as a marketable graphic designer.
Additionally, you will work to further develop your creative practice building on the understanding of conceptual work and techniques from your HNC to refine your personal approach to graphic design.
