This A Level course offers the opportunity to use a range of traditional and mixed media techniques alongside computer generated imagery. You will be expected to engage with complex design problems and to arrive at solutions that promote, publicise, inform, persuade and entertain. Outcomes are varied and student-led: from rebranding a shop or cafe, to designing an album cover, to producing the publicity for a festival or the packaging for your favourite product, the choice is yours.
Progress to an arts degree such as Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Illustration, Games Design, and Fine Art. Employment as a graphic designer is the clearest route, but also illustration or, with further study, animation; you could work within the media, at an advertising company or design agency.
