Graphic Design

Intent

In Graphic Design, students will look to develop drawing, problem-solving, and specific computer skills such as Photoshop and Sketch Up, which, with the ever-developing technology, will be useful life skills. Through the subject students will develop the use of researching of other artists/illustrators or different design movements. This will help develop their analysing skills and can help push their creativity to design their own products. Using a range of different media and projects that can reflect real-life career options makes for an exciting course.

Through KS3, students will be introduced to new design programs and develop skills in research and design that they will require for KS4.

In KS4, students will further develop their knowledge in a range of computer design programs and use portfolio-based projects to mimic a real-life graphic career approach.
