What’s it all about?
If you look around, we are surrounded by the work of graphic designers. The striking visual elements of any advertisement, brochure, web page, book or magazine can owed to the work of graphic designers, who skilfully combine text, image, layout and technology in an artistic way.

What careers will there be for me?

What is Fee-Help or HECS?
Did you know the FEE-HELP / HECS scheme allows you to study now and pay for a course later? The great thing about FEE-HELP / HECS is that you don’t have to make any re-payments until you have a job and your income reaches a certain level, which for the 2014 / 15 income year is $53,345.
