Summer Course in Graphic Design in Branding
The field of visual identity design for businesses, products, events and services has changed significantly.
Today, brands are more dynamic, shifting, adaptive and evolving than ever. They are no longer a static element, and more and more devices and platforms are emerging on which to deploy visual identity systems. This calls for a strategic approach and efficient design capable of keeping up with these trends.
The Summer Graphic Design in Branding course explores the relationship between visual interfaces and user experience and seeks to understand how they are linked to printed and digital media, social media, digital dissemination and promotion platforms, and how it all applies to the environments around us.
Admission requirements
This course is especially geared towards people who are interested in gaining insight into the main tools used in generating design and visual communication projects and learning the basic concepts used in the graphic design world and particularly in visual identity, branding and brand culture.
It also targets designers from other fields, graduates and undergraduates in fine arts, communication, photography, publishing, advertising or printing, and entrepreneurs seeking to broaden their knowledge of strategic graphic design. University students and graduates in Graphic Design and visual and interactive communication.
