If you are considering a university degree or tafe diploma, we’re happy to recommend one of Australia’s leading Design Colleges.
Billy Blue
Strange name, great choice. Billy Blue is an Australian college offering courses in all forms of multimedia. Below the team at Billy Blue explain how their graphic design course works.
Communication design is the name of the stream that we used to call graphic design. The reason for the name change is that graphic design is now seen as just one element in a broad and evolving range of visual communication disciplines. Graduates from this stream have succeeded not only in the area of graphic design but in advertising, publishing, typography and more.
The nature of the industry is such that designers are often required to work across a range of disciplines and media including the digital environment. The communication design stream aims to produce imaginative designers who work creatively in areas where information is primarily conveyed by visual means.
Not interested in Higher Education for Graphic Design?
That’s ok! Many graphic design studios are still interested. The key here is your portfolio. You need a great portfolio of work (even personal projects) that showcases your style, unique talents and attention to detail.
Many of the best graphic designers don’t have a tertiary education, just raw talent and a drive to succeed through practice.
Good luck and keep on practicing!
