Overview

Higher Certificate in Design – Graphic Design, NQF 5

The Higher Certificate in Design with a focus on Graphic Design provides a foundation in the broad principles and practices of design. The programme introduces learners to creative and visual thinking, design thinking and the design process, visual communication methods, professional practice, and the analysis and critique of design solutions. It offers an integrated combination of conceptual and applied skills, preparing learners to become flexible, problem-solving thinkers beyond the boundaries of a single design discipline.

The elective in Graphic Design equips learners with the fundamental toolkit to develop creative design solutions, exploring 2D and 3D design approaches in a print-based environment. Students will engage with design challenges across corporate identity and logo design, poster design, editorial design, packaging, typography, and type design. Learners also acquire the academic reading and writing skills required for further study and graduate with a standalone NQF Level 5 qualification.
