Graphic Design and Typography II

15 credits

The course provides in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in graphic design and typography. For example, the student will learn to work with and construct grid systems, explore meta communication in typography, as well as in-depth knowledge in composition and color theory. The student is allowed to explore and work independently with several exercises and projects. The student should also contextualize and critically reflect on their design process and results. The course thus contains not only practical assignments in graphic design, but also written reflections and artist statements.

Distance – study where you are

Distance learning can be structured in different ways – it may be entirely online, or include a few on-campus sessions or meetings at one of our learning centres. The common factor is that most of the learning happens online.

You communicate with your teacher and fellow students through a learning platform, which provides access to discussion forums, group work opportunities, and digital meetings. In many cases, you also have access to recorded lectures via the platform.

The advantage of distance learning is its flexibility – ideal for those who want more freedom to decide when and where to study. However, keep in mind that some mandatory elements of your programme may take place during working hours, even if they are conducted online.
