Introduction

Design for Event, Exhibition and Performance specialises in ‘storytelling spaces’, whether for a brand, a collection, or an idea. Students on the course can undertake projects that integrate aspects of spatial, interactive, and graphic design to create engaging, narrative environments.

This first year focuses on educating and supporting students to help them develop 3D design skills and gain expertise in drawing, modelling, and digital communication. Through seminars and projects, students can become aware of social and contextual issues around design production and be introduced to the importance of visual literacy in spatial, figurative, and performance design.
