This is one-year program designed for aspiring graphic designers who want to dive deep into
the world of branding, identity, and design. The idea of the program is to help students
understand how concepts translate into designs and animations that are used in various
industries.
The design industry is growing at an exponential rate and there are very few designers who can
work across multiple platforms like print, screen, web, motion graphics, etc. There is hardly
any other profession where one starts off with so much responsibility than as a designer.
By the end of the course, students will have acquired the training and the portfolio necessary to
interview for positions in graphic design firms, advertising studios, or marketing firms. Others
may establish their own design firms or take on challenging freelance assignments.
