We will be delivering this course as an A-level over 2 years. It consists of 2 components which are internally assessed and externally moderated by the exam board. Graphic design is communication by visual means, combining text and image. The 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, publicize, inform, persuade, and entertain. Outcomes are varied and student-led. From rebranding a shop or café to designing an album cover, producing the publicity for a festival or the packaging for your favorite product, the choice is yours. Design skills: We want to focus on the students learning further creative design skills and techniques, experimenting, and then developing their own style during the first year of the course. Small design briefs will be set as and students will experience the critique process which is used at university and in the workplace. This year will prepare students for the assessed components.
Grade 6 or above in a GCSE in Design & Technology or a GCSE in Art & Design. Grade 5 or above in English Literature and/or English Language. If a student has not taken any design-based GCSE subject, we would want to see evidence of creative/practical work and previous experience discussed at the interview. External students will be required to bring a portfolio of work to their interview.
