Communication designers may have a specialism, for example, in editorial design or branding, and offer this expertise to a wide range of clients and contexts from brochure production to exhibition design and corporate environments.
Despite this specialism, communication designers will normally work across a wide range of areas, offering a 360° approach to design delivery that requires collaboration with other specialists.
As technology has become more prevalent, design has assumed more importance and therefore communication designers need to be able to offer new creative ideas to meet client needs. To achieve this we believe that it is essential for you to engage fully in evolving an approach to the research process, to ensure you can base decisions on evidence whilst at the same time allowing for the serendipitous.
Alongside a capacity to conduct an enquiry, you also need to be aware of technology change and of innovative models of doing business so that you are equipped to think of new ways of positioning products, services and brands in the minds of consumers.
