At QIBT and Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art (QCA), you will be immersed in the core fundamentals of design – colour theory, typography and drawing. You will work on creative problem solving techniques, learn to think spatially and visually, work in teams and individually, develop skills in time management, communication, resourcefulness, creativity, visual appreciation and exploration. Design is a rewarding experience for those with a flair for visual design and leads to many employment opportunities in the media, publishing and design/development fields.
