Department of Graphic Design
Reasons to choose Kingston - Your research will be informed by critical thinking, experimental formats and technologies, speculative design and public exhibitions. - You will collaborate with students from other design-based MA courses, benefitting from interdisciplinary methods and ways of working. - You will visit studios, work on live projects with local communities and take part in competitions. About this course The course is taught by design practitioners and researchers, and enriched by national and international visiting tutors from a range of creative industries in an expanded mode of design. You will explore the role of graphic design as a tool through which to critically investigate current issues and contemporary visual culture, society, politics, identity, information, education, and technology. Your position as a designer will also be explored through design practice and theory. You will develop your practice with specialist support through adaptable ‘Platform’ groups such as SociallyEngaged Design, Visual Identity and Branding, Language and Publishing, and Interactive Design. These groups provide a lens through which to respond to briefs in each module, and develop your own research methods and practice through an Expanded Research Project. Example modules - Designing Research - Creative Futures For a full list of modules please visit the Kingston University course webpage.
