Faculty of Arts, Technical University of Košice is one of the most important artistic, educational, and scientific institutions in Slovakia. This creative epicenter of the Eastern Slovak region has been providing pedagogical background for future designers, artists, and architects, while also reflecting and supporting several areas of applied artistic research for more than two decades.
Since 1998, the education at the Department of Design has been constantly evolving and transforming to respond flexibly to current approaches in artistic education. At present, the training at the department takes place in four profiling studios, three of which are focused on spatial design, and the fourth one specializes in visual communication. The studios thus provide students with a comprehensive education in design.
Visual Communication Studio specializes in creating visual codes and systems for the visual identity of the present world, and visual communication in both real-life experience and virtual reality. At present, methods of visual communication are changing rapidly not only when it comes to techniques and technology, but also in terms of the means of expression, signs, and symbols. What has not changed, though, are the rules of composition, knowledge of typography and color, or the need to sustain the hierarchy of information. In the Visual Communication Studio, a student is gradually led to understand the wider context of visual communication in the present world and to learn to cooperate with related professionals including software specialists. Great emphasis is put on creative as well as unusual ways of dealing with the project while maintaining the artistic quality and fulfilling the task efficiently, alongside respecting the rules defined by the professional environment, historical background, skills, or tradition.
