About Graphic Design, BDes - at OCAD University

In the Graphic Design program, you will learn the process of visual communication through the combo of images, photography and text to represent ideas and messages.

Some graphic design programs at other schools have a sole focus on technical skills and commercial, corporate work. OCAD U's Graphic Design program teaches you the skills you need but also encourages you to use graphic design as an art form, to challenge barriers and create work for social good.

You'll learn how graphic design impacts society and generates dialogue. You will benefit from hands-on training, as well as theory courses that explore design as a form of expression.

Hands-on courses include:

  • Design Process
  • Editorial and Publication Design
  • Typography
  • Interactive Communication
  • Packaging Design
  • Motion Graphics

Theory courses in topics like brand strategy will teach you to explore the creative process and develop designs that help promote ideas and products.

At the end of this four-year program, you will earn a Bachelor of Design degree.
