Are you excited by the art of visual communication? Do you want to learn how to use typography, branding, and illustration to convey powerful messages? Our Graphic Communication course enables you to explore the diverse realms of this dynamic field, equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive as a visual communicator. With access to state-of-the-art equipment, resources, and invaluable connections with universities, artists, and designers, we ensure that you receive a holistic education that opens doors to a vibrant future in the arts. Our previous students have successfully pursued careers as Illustrators, web and logo designers, brand identity designers, creative art directors, advertising designers, product and multimedia designers, teachers and interior designers.
General entry requirements are 5 or more GCSEs graded 4/5 or above including English Language, and ideally, Maths. No prior study of Art or Graphics GCSE is required to enrol in this course, although a grade 4 or above is recommended for those who have taken it.
Assessment in the Graphic Communication A Level course revolves around four objectives that evaluate your ability to develop ideas in response to contextual references, explore a variety of media, record observations, and produce final outcomes and evaluations. The assessment is a combination of coursework, which accounts for 60%, and an externally set assignment, which accounts for 40% of your final grade. The portfolio component of the course allows you to embark on a practical investigation, conducting in-depth research and establishing coherent and sustainable links between your emerging art and design practice and historical and contemporary references. Collaborating with your teacher, you will negotiate a theme that holds personal relevance to you, showcasing your creativity and analytical skills. This component aims to develop your ability to investigate and research art and design, enabling you to respond creatively to your findings while effectively resolving artistic challenges. The externally set assignment represents the culmination of your A-Level course. You will be given a preparatory period to develop ideas in response to a chosen question, followed by a 15-hour timed period to produce your own artwork, encapsulating the skills and techniques you have acquired throughout the program.
