Learn in the centre of London with our in-person courses. Our purpose-built facilities in Covent Garden mean we are ideally located and easy to get to.
Despite declining cinema audiences (as many of us now ‘stream’ films into our living rooms at home), film posters are still an essential aspect of film advertising. Physical posters still plaster the urban landscape, and digital ‘posters’ plaster our screens.
Using iconic film posters from the 20th century as inspiration (think Saul Bass, and anything from Poland), learn how to design and create a compelling poster for your favourite film!

Take a deep dive into a specific process, media or tool, with our Visual Communication Workshops.
Workshops throw the spotlight onto niche areas of the visual communication field, enabling you to hone higher-level skills and gain deeper insights.
Workshops tend to have a practical focus, with little or no conceptual or contextual elements, although this varies by course.
