The four-year-long Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) in Graphic Design programme is offered only at National Institute of Design Ahmedabad.

We have been witnessing a dramatic change in the way a graphic designer works. The rapid changes in the way communication is happening in the recent context of technological advancement has made through the understanding of graphic design much more important than ever before. This programme prepares students to take on all new context challenges and technological advancements in the field of Visual Communication and especially in Graphic Design domain.

Paradoxically, traditional skills have become more necessary than before. Quality and creative solutions contextual to the user’s needs are still a basic human input. The fundamental importance of creating a visual vocabulary through drawing, the development of aesthetic judgment, values of form, proportion, image, and word have become an integral part of learning graphic design at NID.

During their period of study, students in graphic design are encouraged to work on a variety of projects, majoring in the selected sub-domain of graphic design. The areas covered include typography & type design, publication design, image making, illustration, photography, packaging, print design, corporate identity, branding, information & communication systems in the digital domain as well as analogs medium.

A graphic design student, in addition to a thorough grounding in design abilities and theoretical aspects, undertakes the study of the cultural and historical context in which designers need to function, as well as of the social and ethical factors that influence design decisions. The ultimate aim is to stimulate the development of independent critical judgment, sound research skills, the ability to think creatively and practice design as a professional.

College Infrastructure

Love the fact that the spaces in our studios are very mobile, can be changed as per course requirements. Very open, students gets ample working area for individual projects as well and personalisation of your space is permitted which makes it more student friendly. It's a cohesive environment and the labs too are well equipped with trained professionals to guide the students. Hostel rooms are also well maintained as per government standards and the mess food is also pretty decent.
