Bachelor of Media Design - Graphic, Motion & Interactive Design

Media Design School

The Bachelor of Media Design programme is your gateway into the world of design. This course spends the first year introducing you to the principles and essentials every designer should know, and gives you a taste of the three major areas of Graphic Design, Motion Design and Interactive (UX) Design. From there you choose your major for second and third year where you will work on live briefs with real companies, and get everything you need to excel in your chosen specialty.Graphic Design: Graphic Design teaches you how to communicate using text, image and form to make visual connections and craft the seeds of ideas and information into meaningful interactions. Design shapes the world around us and the demand for designers is set to grow in the coming years. Visual communication is an important aspect of almost every industry, with those who build their career in the field in the privileged position of having choices about where and how they want to work. Creative types dreaming of following their passion can have the best of both worlds, gaining an abundance of experience in the field, as well as coveted skills along the way. By the end of your third year at MDS, you will have designed, constructed and documented an industry-standard body of work that represents your perspective as an emerging professional designer. Motion Design: Motion design is the process of giving life to otherwise static graphics and images through animation. In essence, it involves giving movement to traditional graphic design elements like text and logs, albeit with less emphasis on storytelling. By incorporating the element of time into the creation process it adds a new dimension to graphics. Interactive Design: The Interactive Design major prepares you for the technical demands of the web and mobile development industries. As you move along the course, you’ll experiment with a variety of interactive and dynamic design theories and be immersed in fundamental digital design processes, such as front-end web development, interactive programming, and content management systems.
