Ever thought about how everything you see on a screen is just a bunch of zeroes and ones? Turning those into something beautiful and user-friendly is the craft of the designer.
Developed to meet the latest industry demands, this dynamic programme is an excellent starting point for students looking to study further in the fields of graphic design, or web and UX design.
Combining design principles and technical skills, the course offers a taste of the major components of graphic design and web development needed to produce engaging work for online and digital outputs.
Your 40 weeks include four 10-week modules where you’ll complete an in-depth assessment for each topic using industry-standard processes. You’ll cut your teeth on some insanely cool projects that not only build your skills but also help you begin your portfolio and prepare for further study or entering industry.
On graduating, you receive the New Zealand Diploma in Digital Media and Design (Level 5).
Evening Class options are available for 2020 intake dates.
