Overview

Advanced Diploma - Graphic Design

Humber’s Graphic Design advanced diploma program develops creative and strategic designers who wish to execute a wide range of visual communication strategies through interactive media such as web and screen, user interaction, motion design, and traditional print-based media.

Through a mix of theory and hands-on practical training, you will combine art and design to produce unique visual communication solutions. 

The program will allow you to explore creative strategy and design processes, typography, editorial and publication design, package design, user experience (UX), user interface (UI), web design, information design, and motion design. Additionally, the program will prepare you for your career through professional practice and entrepreneurship to round out a comprehensive skillset to attain employment or freelance work.

As part of the interaction and design common platform cluster, you will be trained on industry-based skills, technology and current design software techniques. 

Your first semester is shared with the Multimedia Design and Development program. 

Your exposure to different types of design work and common programming elements will enable you to investigate your options and choose a focus prior to your second year of study.

Work Placement

Students will participate in a mandatory work placement which takes place in the last semester of study. 

After completing a work placement preparation course, students will be supported in marketing themselves to prospective employers to find a work placement that aligns with their personal career goals.
