Are you looking to start a career in design? If so, the BA (Hons) Graphic & Media Design course at Hereford College of Arts (HCA) will give you the skills you need to succeed in the ever-growing, ever-popular creative industry. But that’s surely like every other college course, right?
Wrong. At HCA, you don’t just learn the basics of graphic design, instead the course goes the extra mile where it really matters. For a start, the course is led by industry experienced graphic designers, who will not only impart the real-world knowledge every graduate needs, but who will also help you get a foot in the door with local and national creative media companies to gain valuable work experience.
All of the above may well sound too good to be true, but the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Or projects, in this case, so let’s take a closer look at how HCA has adapted its teaching style in response to events over the past 18 months.
The coronavirus pandemic, Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements and Show Racism the Red Card are but a few monumental things to have happened recently that have changed the way people interact with each other, forging new styles of communication in the world of media and graphic design.
