    The two-and-a-half-year-long Master of Design (M.Des.) in Graphic Design programme at NID is offered at its campuses in 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.
