Contemporary Art & Design Practice (Top Up) at Trafford & Stockport College Group - UCAS

Course summary

This top up has been structured around collaborative project-based work and live-briefs using different mediums to prepare you for the complexities and breadth of industry. At level 6, we believe that the relationship between you and your lecturers is a working partnership, with ongoing teaching, advice, support but also independence to experiment. Alongside studio practice, set lectures and workshops are scheduled to introduce and consolidate contextual and practical work and ultimately enhance and enrich your past education. You will have the opportunity to simulate ‘real-world’ ways of working, which impact meaningfully on your personal and creative development. This could be via a national competition brief, a client led project or by working with others from disciplines not traditionally linked to the arts. You will also build your contextual research and narratives into an illustrated book, a lasting showcase of your theoretical and practical skillset. You will be grounded with Advanced Visual Studies, exploring different applications of visual language and ideas generation. You will learn how to enhance the aesthetic and commercial value of your personal images and how to be more innovative. Not only will you create bodies of work in illustration, typography, graphic design and animation, you will also be prepared to be able to work within the field, confidently presenting and conversing with clients. You will be encouraged to continually reflect and build up your own personal development and self-promotion as a creative and ethical practitioner.

Career options include: Graphic Design, Illustration, Concept Art, Motion Graphics, Production Art, Advertising, Marketing, Web Design, Social Media Marketing, Publishing, Print making, Screen printing, Interior Design, Fine Art, Games Design, Animation, Creative directing, Art Exhibitions and Events, Gallery Curation, Visual Merchandising.
