Professional Design Practice

MODULE AIM

This module aims to equip you with the knowledge and experience necessary to make informed decisions about preparing for employment within the graphic design industry and to consolidate your understanding of key issues in current design practice in the workplace.

It is important that designers work at all times in a responsible, ethical manner including: legislation, ethics, responsibilities, environmental, social responsibilities, business organisations, intellectual property and copyright. 

Furthermore, this module will allow you to understand and respond to technological changes including digital applications.

You will be introduced to the constraints of cost and print processes, this will enable you to develop items of self-promotion for employment application and enable you to structure and organise a personal portfolio of work. Knowledge and non-design skills developed in this module are directly transferable to the workplace and employment.
