The Official Online Master's Degree in Graphic Design boosts creative talent without frontiers

The graphic design sector is going through a period of change, which makes it even more attractive. As David Pérez Medina, director of the Official Online Master's Degree in Graphic Design at UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, points out, the sector "is growing in general terms and is gaining ground over others, such as advertising, because with the fall of conventional media, brands need, first, to be strong and, then, to communicate with skill and coherence in media that are almost impossible to control and that often take advantage of our profiles" . 

Coinciding with this growth in the sector, in February the University is launching the first edition of the Official Master's Degree, 100% online, which allows total flexibility and adaptability. A one-year degree, focused from a modern and transversal perspective, in which students will be able to tackle design projects in Branding, Editorial Design, Packaging and Visual Communication . 

This master's degree is mainly aimed at graduates in creative disciplines with a graphic or project component, such as Design, Animation, Digital Art, Architecture, Fine Arts, Audiovisual Communication or Advertising, as well as graduates in other professions who work in creative environments and are looking for a complete and versatile training that goes beyond the simple learning of technical tools. 

A complete and enriching training programme

UDIT has worked on the design of a curriculum with high quality contents of high value, worked by didactic units, very visual, interactive and completely aligned with the current demands of Graphic Design, which are summarised below:

• Contextual and conceptual culture, allows students to contextualise Graphic Design in the history of Design, as well as to identify trends and point to the possible future of the sector aligned with innovation . 
• Visual culture, a subject in which students work on colour and images as iconic, symbolic and rhetorical elements in Graphic Design. 
  
• Design management, where students work on competences other than creative, conceptual or technical aspects, focusing more on the collateral elements of the profession (legislation, economic and organisational aspects, business models, deontology and ethics and social and environmental commitment) . 
• Advanced Typography, a subject in which typographic knowledge is applied as a characteristic and differential element of the good transversal practice of this profession. 
• Workshops: 
  • Branding - Design, strategy and programming of brands in the corporate and institutional sphere . 
  • Editorial graphics - Design and production control of editorial projects and applied graphics . 
  • Audiovisual graphics - Design of audiovisual projects and motion graphics. 
  • Digital graphics - Development of interactive design projects with user experience design, research, strategy, information architecture, prototyping, visual design, usability analysis, evaluation and documentation, aimed at the development of digital products . 
  • Packaging - Application of graphic design to packaging as a key communication support and point of contact with consumer brands. 
•  Professional internships
•  Master 's Thesis

Many more activities 

In addition to the classes themselves, the workshops and the projects developed in them, the University offers an extensive calendar of master classes, which provide the added value of not only the knowledge of the speakers, but also their experience in the sector .
