Welcome to Graphic Design

It’s a really exciting time to be studying graphic design. New and emerging technologies are having a monumental impact on the graphic design industry and the pace of innovation is taking everyone by surprise. This programme embraces change and positions itself as a provider of international design education because we believe in the fundamental universality of visual communication.

Graphic design is an art that uses typography, photography, illustration and animation for visual communication. If that sounds like an ideal career choice for you, then we would love to have you at the Bolton School of the Arts! The chance to undertake a diverse range of practical assignments and study the associated theory, makes our graphic design courses stand out.

Testimonials

Jon Francis

BA (Hons) Graphic Design | 2020

"Throughout the BA (Hons) Graphic Design I have been fortunate to work on a variety of live briefs. Working with clients has developed skills I would otherwise not have developed; furthering my appreciation of the importance in building relationships with clients and delivering presentations back to them.

I have also been able to learn the importance of visiting clients improving my ability to answer the brief; whilst working on an NHS brief the year group were invited to the ward to meet the client and understand the environment where our work is being designed for.

"The students at the University of Bolton presented a dynamic array of work representing a wide variety of topics, the team were very impressed with the standard and quality of the work and commented on the difficulties they faced when deciding who would win the award and be joining the agency for the Summer.

Two students, Beth and Nicola, stood out to us with their exciting and innovative style of work, broad range of skills and their passion towards the creative industry, something which we thrive off at Fogg."
