Graphic Design
In this field you will learn the design in both theory and practice - from print media, online graphic design (web design) and visual identities, to posters, logos, logotypes and 3D graphics.
Leading Czech designers impart practical knowledge and proven expertise to students within the framework of professional courses.
The teaching of graphic design at Scholastika focuses on professional education and active preparation of students for the practical work of graphic designers.
Graphic design surround us - through visual messages such as mobile apps, magazine articles, logos, websites and even the complete visual identity of a company or city. We prepare our students to be able to implement their ideas and contribute to visual communication through graphic design. Graduates acquire skills in the areas of text typesetting, typography, image composition, vector graphics and working with illustration or photography.

Why studyGraphic Design?
-
Teaching Adobe graphic programs is a given. An advantage is the possibility of individually choosing 3D graphic programs, After Effects, or the Figma program.
As part of the studies, gaining an overview of the graphic design scene (regarding both studios and individuals) domestically and internationally is essential. Similarly, theoretical knowledge of visual culture and the history of graphic design is indispensable.
Students will learn to independently present and defend their work with compelling arguments.
Another strength of the study program is the four-month professional internships completed at studios and companies collaborating with our school. Additionally, thematic workshops led by Czech and international designers, as well as specialised lectures by guest speakers, contribute to the program.
The competitiveness of graduates mainly stems from their ability to defend their own ideas and chosen approaches, which is as important in the field of graphic design as the actual creative process itself.
What do students say about the school?

The school creates a kind of community, not just for the students, but for all the teachers and everyone involved. It’s nice to be in an environment that motivates you every day.
— Karolína, graphic design student -
Why is the school great? For me personally, it’s mainly the time flexibility. I’m able to do my own projects, work, while continuing my studies.
