About this Course

Created for Designers Trained in Print Media who wish to make the Transition into Broadcast Media

The Specialist Diploma in Motion Graphic Design is an 8-month programme that allows students who have graduated from related diplomas such as a Diploma in Graphic Design or a Diploma in Visual Communications, a chance to supplement what they have already learnt with the knowledge needed to jumpstart their career as a Motion Graphic Designer.

The course will encourage students to enhance their creative talents, as well as sharpen their technical knowledge. These students will be able to produce attention-grabbing communication design for film, television, and the web. The course provides a stimulating education in motion graphics—including practical application of storytelling, typography as well as embracing the theory, research and analysis portion of project work.
