Frequently Asked Questions..??
What is Communication design?
Communication design is a branch of design that strategically employs images to express ideas or convey information. After a communication design course, you become communication designers who use this design strategy to develop visuals that convey ideas more quickly than they can be expressed verbally while still being compelling and clear. This strategy is most often used in print or electronic media. According to a report by market research firm The Business Research Company, visual communication is a growing industry, with a global market for these services worth $249.5 billion in the fiscal year 2022.
