Getting Ahead

Photography & Graphic Design UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma at South Downs Campus

This information will help you get a head start with developing ideas and concepts for your first project in Photography & Graphic Design. Building these foundations will help you to feel more confident and show us your capabilities prior to you starting your course in September.

Did you know? The art industry is the biggest growing job sector: 11% compared to 1% in other jobs. 50% of these are in the south across a range of different creative industries.

Capturing images of everyday life, of people doing everyday tasks and portraits of people through the decades has been a really important part of commenting on society, even more so in recent times.

  • Document your experiences at these unusual times by photographing and drawing people you can see around you during the summer
  • Consider creating a ‘rough and ready’ zine out of images you take/make or making a website to specifically showcase your imagery (How to Make a Zine / Create a Website)

Select an image you like, that reflects your interests, and make some notes about it. You will be asked to talk about it during the first few weeks of College.

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

Matthew Randell, A Level student

The tutors were really supportive and it was all thanks to them that I have achieved what I have. I’ve also made loads of great friends and really enjoyed my time at the college.

Lizaveta Sinkerich, A Level student

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.
