The visual backdrop to modern life is generated by specialists in Web Design, Video and Motion Graphics or Graphic Design. We are surrounded by sophisticated screen-based and printed imagery that uses creative methods to communicate, persuade and inform. Consider how many examples of their work you are exposed to in a typical day: the websites do you look at, the adverts you see, the magazines you read, and the videos you watch on television, DVD or online. The most effective examples of these media are produced by experts trained in the technical, functional and creative principles of their disciplines. The creative and cultural industries have a growing demand for their professional skills. The exciting suite of media programmes at the Broadstairs campus has been designed to help you develop these skills.
