What do you study in Graphic Design?

Question

My younger brother is intrested in enrolling himself in Diploma in Graphic Design. He's not good with books though. Is this course more in practical rather in theory? I only know that the fees are sky high. Any Graphic Designers around? =)

This course more on practical compared to theory right? Is it like 80% practical and about 20% theory?

Answer 2

The only thing I can see as a possible response is graphic design over some kind of artwork? do you prefer the communication aspect too? It sounds as if you could go either way (look at your work and find out if it says 'design' or more 'art'). Graphic design is a form of art so to get the best results you must apply a professional to use their abilities and relevant experience in the discipline of layout needed for the project, site, marketing, promotion, typography, print along with the use of colour. Design does much more than make your business look great. It is a visual language that communicates your institution's style into a universe of potential customers before you have even meet them. It evokes an emotion that makes you memorable in a sea of adversaries. It inspires visitors to action or a visit to your own site.
