Year 3: Studio & International
The focus in the second year is on developing a personal visual language and the skills necessary to translate this into successful visual communication practice. You will also focus on researching and defining a specific audience and developing a market understanding through professional practice. Year 3: studio + & international studio+ is an optional year open to all design students allowing you to engage with the world beyond ncad by gaining practical work experience in the form of internships and industry placements on live commercial, social or community projects. Studio+ can also include a work placement abroad or a study abroad period through the erasmus programme with internationally recognised art and design faculties partnered with ncad.
It's likely you'll be based in a shared studio or office as some jobs involve working in teams, although you may also work alone on occasions. If you're a freelancer you could share offices, rent studio space or work from home. Design work often involves sitting and working at a computer for long periods of time. Job satisfaction comes from creating high-quality artwork, seeing your designs in use and building a reputation. Jobs are available in major cities and towns, with advertising agencies predominantly based in london, the south east, manchester and leeds. There's also a demand for british graphic designers internationally with opportunities in europe, japan, australia and the usa, but it's advisable to work in the uk for a year before seeking work abroad.
