Graphic Communication is a term used to describe graphic design where the boundaries and parameters are consciously eroded and redefined. The purpose is to encourage a greater creativity and originality in students by adopting a position not constrained by the pressures found in a prescriptive commercialism. Imagination and syntheses are component parts of the work which students will exploit in testing and challenging established outcomes in graphic design, unconstrained by external pressures, the module provokes opportunities for originality in thinking and its application through graphic outcome as well as individual reactions and responses to a wide range of areas in contemporary culture. Typography and image generation are prime elements in the process but students are by no means restricted to any particular format and are encouraged to invent and design individual, alternative and useful vehicles for communication. In this module, students will be asked to deal with a range of contemporary subjects and themes where outcomes provoke opportunities for the audiences themselves to share in the act of communication and where a reflective layered approach to designing in which meaning is more significant than surface superficiality.
