Course Overview
Design plays a crucial role in shaping global development and advancing cultural progress. A designer’s responsibilities encompass both individual creativity and collaborative problem-solving. At the Bangalore School of Design, our Graphic and communication design course emphasizes educating students to become professionals who serve as agents of change, advocacy, and activism in the realms of business, society, and the environment.
This program addresses the communication and marketing demands of various industries across both traditional and new media platforms. The course prioritizes mastering essential skills, developing a strong design mindset, and cultivating intellectual thinking over merely learning to use software tools. Key objectives include understanding contextual perspectives, creating strategic solutions, honing communication and presentation skills, and translating ideas into meaningful visual forms across multiple media.
At our graphic design program in Bangalore, we sit at the intersection of business needs and artistic expression, where personal creativity meets the strategic goals of commerce. This approach is grounded in a deep understanding of people and their emotions.

This approach not only enriches practical skills but also challenges students to question norms and push creative boundaries.
