Graphic design at Edinburgh involves:
- balancing project guidelines with personal expression
- the interchange of traditional and contemporary technologies
Our approach
Graphic design must:
- challenge the status quo
- cross boundaries
- think backwards from the future
- develop powerful and novel solutions
Designers should be:
- observant
- culturally, ethically and historically aware
- open
- understanding
- receptive
At Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) we encourage bold, lateral thinking and understanding of process, technique and business.
Through intense, sustained involvement with the design process, we support you in producing a design that is:
- innovative
- emotive
- enduring
- aesthetic
We aim to produce skilled, confident and emotive designers equipped for contemporary graphic design demands.
Programme benefits
- You will be encouraged to develop your own individual style and voice. We don’t subscribe to or enforce a house style.
- You will gain intensive work experience stimulated by the real-life dynamics of agency practice and will be mentored by industry professionals.
- You will take part in a series of live projects which include collaborations with many influential clients.
- In your final year, you will have the chance to incorporate your design strengths into a showcase presentation of your work in the Graduate Show.
- Our staff are practising designers, artists and researchers who share their experience in a hands-on and supportive environment.
