23.10.2005 News
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) - Last week, Icograda had the pleasure of welcoming a new member from Saudi Arabia into its Education Network. The Dar Al-Hekma College, a private college that opened in 1999 in order to provide sophisticated higher education for young Saudi women, launched its Graphic Design Program in 2002.
The purpose of the Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design Program at Dar Al-Hekma College is to teach graphic presentation skills across a wide range of disciplines and professional contexts. Based around a balance of text-image relationships, the program covers the visual communication of ideas, within social and cultural contexts and theoretical issues. It provides a framework for individual development, which is geared towards professional practice in graphic communications. The programme of study includes practical projects in analysing and producing creative and well considered solutions based on integral areas of design; graphics, typography, publishing, illustration, multimedia, photography, and digital production. Aspects of image making, information design; visual narrative and semiotics are explored in the context of theory and practice, with relevance to and respect for the value orientation of the society and culture of Saudi Arabia.
