About the course
Graphic designers play a critical role in enhancing a brand's visual identity, and most organisations require their services at some point. They are highly valued for their ability to communicate meaning effectively through visual elements.
The University of Cape Town (UCT) offers an online short course in Graphic Design that prepares participants to start a career in this field by equipping them with technical skills and creative knowledge. With guidance from a media expert, the course covers Adobe Illustrator,* working with digital images, and selecting effective typefaces for both print and web platforms to create engaging content. As students gain design knowledge and software proficiency, they will also learn about the business side of graphic design and creating a professional portfolio.
