Art in Communication (1 Viewer)

[allGenreGamer]

Is anyone currently studying the bachelor of arts in communication? If so, mind telling me what it involves? I am interested in the "visual communication" (e.g. digital media) and writing (I want to become a fiction/non-fiction writer) degrees.

vis comm is a different course, the digital media one would be media arts and production I think?

I'm doing communications, but I do journalism. Basically, in the first year the degree involves lots of general stuff like media, cultural and historical subjects and the start of your professional subject. In second and third years its just media studies, your professional subject, and electives.

Not much is involved in first year lol. Just show up to class and hand in your assignments and thats about that.... it does get harder though.

Someone who is interested in the specific areas you are might be able to give more advice.

Your whole first semester sounds like my Nanosciences subject...only Nano will be getting me US$60K per annum

sounds like you might also be interested in BA Communications (Writing & Contemporary Cultures).

as far as visual communication goes, head over to the design faculty cos its nothing to do with humanities or the BA Comm degrees sounds like a pretty interesting course though! i thought about doing it myself

That figure was the graduate salary of course, not the target career income.

Edit: the comment about law hurt

Gamer: it's called B. Design (Visual Communication). this is seperate from other communications courses, it's in DAB (faculty of design, architecture and building). the only similarity is the name.

that's what i do.

visual communication

i'm very interested in that course, seriously thinking of doing it next year, either that or going to a fine arts college...

does anyone do that course?

 

[saladsurgery]

yep

i do it (viscomm, that is).

it's pretty cool. what did you want to know about it?

 

[frazzle]

cool! what year are you in?

i'm just interested in what you do in the course, if you find it good etc.

what aspect of design does it focus on? how does it differ from, say, fine arts from COFA?
