When I applied for Design in Visual Communication I had no idea what the course was about, simply what drew me to it was the word ‘visual’. It didn’t claim it was a graphic design degree or a fine arts degree, and over time it expanded my limited understanding of communication through illustration, coding, sound and motion. I made this post (5 Things my VisCom Degree has Taught me) to consolidate the key learnings during my time in VisCom and as a way to support others who have just begun and want a little head start.
