Department of Graphic Design 

Graphic design is a creative, problem-solving discipline that combines art, technology, and communication, organizing and communicating thoughts, information, and emotions through visual, typographic, and digital tools. In our department, students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in graphic design. In addition to fundamental design principles, color, typography, and composition, we also teach digital design software, illustration, publication design, branding, and corporate identity. Furthermore, courses in advertising, marketing communications, web and interactive design, photography, and video support students in developing a well-rounded design practice.

Students in the graphic design department develop their creativity by working on individual and group projects; they produce original designs through studio work; and they collaborate on projects with industry. They also have the opportunity to share their work through exhibitions, portfolio presentations, and workshops. This entire process prepares them for a wide range of post-graduation careers, from advertising agencies and publishing houses to design studios and digital media platforms.
