Students will explore foundation units in communication and professional practice, before exploring more specialised areas, including illustration, animation, photography, visual design, web design, coding, digital video, audio, and screen production. Learn how to create digital media works using industry-standard software tools and techniques, whilst also learning to think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and work independently and collaboratively on practical projects. Students can also tailor their studies to suit individual strengths and interests, choosing three minors from: animation, graphic design, interactive media or screen production. On completion, students may choose to further their skills with the Bachelor of Creative Media at CQUniversity. For more course information, visit Diploma of Creative Media.
