With the world’s rapid adoption of digital media comes the need to adapt. Relatively new technologies  – smart phones, tablets, apps, touch screens, the list goes on – need visual designers who understand the interface they’re designing for. Friends of Design is providing the first step in this direction by combining their Print Design & Publishing course with
a course in Web Publishing and Interactive Media (both Higher Certificate) to offer students a 2 year full time Digital Design syllabus starting next month.

The 2 year program focuses on typography, digital illustration, digital imaging, corporate identity, information design/usability, web coding, visual identity, web business, e-commerce and advanced portfolio work with the aim to produce accomplished multimedia design graduates. 

Skills are developed through a series of projects like ‘Graphics and images’ – preparing layouts for print, vector illustration & photographs, logo design, page banners, buttons, user interface and navigation bars – ‘Web sites’ – electronic portfolio, web text and page layouts, building basic client websites and website redesign – and ‘Rich media’ – multimedia for the internet, sound & video web integration, animation techniques and video & sound editing for Web, DVD and Television.

Enrolment is open and class starts on the 7th of Feb.
