Design provides students with another language – a visual language – which allows one to see beyond initial appearances, analyze problems and provide intelligent creative solutions. The world as we know it would be non-existent without design. Design is utilized in every aspect of our lives – the toothbrushes we use to clean our teeth, the cars we drive, the adverts and movies that we watch, the clothes we wear and the houses we live in. Doing design not only allows students the possibility of following in the footsteps of top South African fashion designers but also assists them in pursuing a career as a graphic designer working for South Africa’s top advertising firms, being an interior designer, a landscape designer, a jewellery designer, or working in the film and television industries as an animator, director, set designer or costume designer. The career opportunities affiliated within the design world are endless and it is one of the fastest growing industries – everybody relies on artists whether they realize it or not.
