Bridge the gap between graphic design and moving image this innovative MA course examines the development and use of any screen-based design that moves with an intended purpose to inform and communicate.This practical programme references traditional moving image such as documentary, short narrative film and broadcast design.


Contents

This programme is divided into three stages:

In Stage 1 you will work on projects which develop your understanding of fundamental design principles related to graphic design within a moving image or narrative-driven context. You will explore multi-disciplinary perspectives and design methodologies utilising theoretical and historical contexts for your work. This study is supported by a visiting lecture programme from key practitioners, and workshops in technical areas, together with visits to museums, galleries and design studios.

Stage 2 sets projects which explore current design issues and methodologies. Building upon the work undertaken in Stage 1 you will investigate issues central to contemporary design practice such as design authorship and social engagement, through a process of research, experimentation and the practical testing of your ideas. Study at this stage of the programme is supported by visiting lectures, further workshops and group seminars. During this period you develop your major self-initiated project proposal, with support from course tutors.

In Stage 3 you will explore the ideas you have developed in more detail. These will form the basis of your major self-initiated project which culminates in the presentation and supporting report. Alternatively you may elect to submit a major project thesis, usually with supporting practical project work.

You will have an Honours Degree in a relevant subject, or a professional or academic qualification recognised as equivalent to an Honours Degree or equivalent professional experience. A good command of English is essential.

Your portfolio should cover your most recent commercial or academic activity, showing your aptitude and ability in design. This can be supported with documents showing your working processes and research (i.e. sketchbooks). Also include any other projects that indicate your personal areas of interest in this aspect of communication.
