The Graphic Communication A-level at Ada provides students with a multidisciplinary experience within a state of the art facility. The subject of Graphic Communication is primarily concerned with the process of designing visual material to convey information, ideas, meaning and emotions.
This A-level gives students the chance to explore a range of disciplines such as advertising, branding and logo design, illustration, packaging design, design for print, infographics, typography, multimedia and interactive design.
The course has a personalised approach which allows students to realise their own ideas from inception to finalisation and arm them with the confidence to pursue their own area of study within the subject by year 13.
The Ada Creative Department has the latest art and design digital technology where students develop key digital skills alongside more traditional techniques such as drawing, photography and print.
As part of the course, students have the opportunity to work alongside and network with industry professionals, enter national competitions, work on real life briefs and go on college trips to experience contextual references first hand.
During the course students build a portfolio and are supported by tutors to aid them to progress on to study at university, gain an apprenticeship or find employment.
