Graphic Design at RPSA

Graphic Design at RPSA is built around one idea: learning to work under pressure, because that is what the industry requires. From year one, you work to deadlines, develop concepts and produce finished outputs across communication design, illustration, DTP and print media. Mentors who are practising designers hold you to the same standard the industry will. By the time you graduate, you have not just studied design. You have made it, under pressure, on deadline, again and again.

Overview

This studio is built around the brief. From your first project, you are meeting deadlines, developing concepts, and producing finished work in industry-standard tools — Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign — rather than studying design in theory and hoping it translates later.

The work here spans communication design, illustration, desktop publishing and print media. What ties it together is a discipline: creative judgement and technical precision, developed at the same time, not one after the other.

Best suited to those interested in visual communication, layout, typography, branding, digital design, illustration, and problem-solving through design.
