Welcome to the Ad Connected Design
As a Creative Connector, you form the link between spatial designers, clients and users. You might work with an exhibition maker, for example, using a variety of visualisation techniques to present designs. This gives all the stakeholders a good idea of what the exhibition will look like.
By applying new visualisation and presentation techniques, you develop your own creative and communicative style in figuring out the design issue and creating impact. In doing so, you always take account of the people who will be using the space, incorporating their questions or wishes in the details of your design. Through projects and clients, you position yourself as a creative connector in a broad professional field and draw on your entrepreneurial skills.
What is an Associate degree?
The Associate degree (AD) is a legally recognised, two-year course, resulting in a level 5 certificate at higher professional education level. After two years, you can either go on to take a Bachelor’s degree of higher professional education or get straight to work. The course links up well with demand from the business world, the public sectors and the creative industry.
