Get Into the Most Far-Flung Design Stream
The module starts with learning the elements and principles of design and visualisation, which forms the building block of an exciting creative journey both while studying and later as a profession. The students gain immense knowledge through practical exercises right from the basics of sketching, which help them to transfer their ideas to paper, and to develop them into skillfully finished graphic design pieces, such as logos, posters, web and UI designs, packaging designs, advertisements making etc., to name a few, by using the latest industry-standard software.
This 3-year specialist skill building module at ICAT is conducted through a variety of proven learning methods, including classroom training, independent research, guided practice sessions, industry visits, professional seminars and workshops. In the final year, students are periodically exposed to industry professionals for inspiration and professional feedback. They are also encouraged to develop high quality portfolio of their extra-curricular work which would enable them to get highly satisfying jobs on completion of the module. The students also take up internship at creative organisations to gain real-time experience and develop their final project to demonstrate their specialist skills that will be the evidence of their expertise to prospective employers.
