In 2012, Keyline had been instrumental for over a decade in shifting the design industry towards new digitally connected workflows through our corporate training and consultancy relationships. We saw a need at that time for a new type of graphic design course, born of a need by our corporate design customers for a multi-skilled practically trained type of designer to fit into environments demanding an increasingly diverse set of skills to maximise new and emerging digital communication trends. Keyline’s Digital Communication Design course, which till today is still unique in its structure and outcomes, was born. Through this unique one-year program we have trained and successfully placed hundreds of learners into dynamic and rewarding design careers in leading design companies and departments.

Digital Communication Design is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses creating and implementing visual and interactive communication strategies in the digital realm. It combines elements of graphic design, user experience (UX) design, and digital technology to convey messages effectively and engage users.
Digital Communication Design involves the use of various mediums such as websites, mobile applications, social media platforms, and interactivity to communicate information, ideas, and brand identities. Designers in this field focus on creating visually appealing and intuitive content, considering user needs and behaviours, and optimising the overall user experience. They employ techniques such as typography, colour theory, layout design, animation, and interactive elements to create compelling and impactful digital experiences that effectively communicate with the target audience.
This course begins with graphic design modules to learn about the proper generation and harmonious interaction of elements like text, pictures, illustrations, animations and interactivity that will ensure that a piece is attractive, engaging and conveys the intended message. Thereafter you will move on to electronic interactive media and learn how proper preparation will ensure that the desired result is achieved in the complex print, web or electronic environment. Conceptualise, create and edit print-based media and electronic media with video, engaging interactive presentations and animated 3D models.
If you would like to study towards a career you will be happy in whilst not wasting years of your life and loads of money then this course is for you.
