MDes Communication Design

Brian Cairns

Programme Leader

We are pleased to welcome you to view the work of students from the Masters in Communication Design programme at The Glasgow School of Art. Yet again, we are astonished by the cohort’s focus, and we would like to congratulate them on their achievements - well done!

Working across various disciplines, including Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, and the boundaries between and beyond, there are some fantastic projects for you to explore. The students have employed a range of creative forms of communication to challenge the world around us, whether exploring labour conditions or ecological systems, capitalism alongside consumerism, or individual and cultural identities; their criticality and ethical awareness have always been at the forefront of their production.

We are incredibly proud as a staff team to see students working physically with thoughtful and detailed outcomes. The work is produced with industry in mind, with the highest possible standards as their goal. Seeing their momentum gain and witnessing an extremely active studio environment in which they have all been part has been a joy. We hope you enjoy the fruits of their labour as you navigate the degree show, and we wish this graduating year the very best as they move forward into their future careers.
