Department of Visual Studies University of Karachi
Design & Media Arts Graduates’ Directory Degree Show 2015
The Graphic Design program at Department of Visual studies has contributed hugely to the design & media industry in Pakistan - both in conventional and advanced mediums of communication. I take pride in stating that our graduates are some of the most conscientious information designers of their time, who have constantly strived to use their skills to add value to society, while learning from their rich social and cultural surroundings. I believe that the graduating batch of 2015 will take forward this tradition and use the power of their designs to change the world for the better, one pixel at a time.
Since its inception in 2011, the Media Arts program has been producing films that have gained acclaim in the national and international film circuit. Our students have won significant awards in renowned film festivals in Pakistan such as LUMS film festival, SZABIST film festival and Agha Khan University film festival, as well as have had the honour of representing Pakistan in prestigious international events including the Golden Diana Awards, International Peace & Film Festival, Davis International Film Festival, DOC Sunback Film Festival and Blackbird film festival, amongst others. We now pass on the torch to the graduating batch of 2015, who have worked tirelessly and with minimum resources to produce some extraordinary films. I wish you the very best in your future endeavours and hope that you will continue to take risks and create magic.
