ABOUT THIS COURSE

Level 2 Design & Visual Communication is a studio-based course that develops advanced design thinking and visual communication skills. You’ll work from a design brief, researching contexts, users, and precedents to inform strong design decisions. Using a mix of sketching, modelling, and digital tools (including CAD), you’ll produce high-quality visual outcomes that clearly communicate complex ideas.

The course emphasises conceptual development, spatial thinking, and iterative design, with a strong focus on how ideas are explored, refined, and presented. You’ll take a project from its initial concept through to a resolved final design, building technical precision, visual clarity, and a confident personal design language.
