What graphic design study involves
Programmes of this kind usually blend studio practice with design history and theory. You will learn typography, colour theory, layout, image making, and the digital software used across the industry. Projects typically give you a portfolio long before you graduate.
Applying from SHS
Central University's School of Architecture and Design accepts applicants from General Science, Home Economics, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts. Entry is less competitive than for many other degree programmes, so if you did well in these subjects you have a reasonable chance. Confirm that your specific WASSCE grades meet the published subject requirements.
The kind of work you'd do
Graphic designers create visual solutions for printed and digital media. You might design a brand identity, a website layout, a packaging system, or an advertising campaign. It is a field that rewards creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to take feedback and revise a design until it works.
