SACAC is one of the best learning institutes for graphic design in India.

This course is a creatively designed process of opening one’s mind towards appreciating and creating effective works of visual design. This is a crucial part of a larger field known as communication design. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, images, drawings, colours, photographs and page layout techniques to produce great 'visual communication’. However, the mind is the most important tool in a graphic design course. Aside from technology, a creative mind thriving with original ideas, good judgment, observation and investigative thinking are required for creative design layouts and rendering. New ideas can be found through experimentation with tools and methods. This is how our experienced industry-professional faculty members mentor students to find their own design eye and develop workplace skills.

Should I study on campus or online?

Studying on campus is a perfect immersive learning environment where lectures, briefs, workshops are delivered in classrooms from our industry-professional faculty members. Engagement is higher and you get access to campus facilities. Participation in group collaboration and meeting industry professionals face-to-face is easier on campus.

SACAC’s online course attempts to mimic the on campus experience as closely as possible. Lectures, briefs and workshops are delivered in real time from our industry-professional faculty members. It gives you the freedom to study and learn from anywhere in the world with good internet connectivity.

Depending on your availability and learning style, you can select the mode of learning best suited to your needs. If you’re looking to change your creative career, our fast-paced certificate course will help you acquire skills through intensive design skill-building.
