GRADUATE DIPLOMA PROGRAMME IN DESIGN (GDPD)
GDPD commences with a two semester rigorous Foundation Programme. This programme is geared to assist in developing attitudes, sensorial skills and aesthetic sensitivity necessary for further specialisation in specific areas of design.The purpose is to create awareness of the environment and to arouse the students’ creative faculties.
The primary concern of the Foundation Programme is to introduce the students to the fundamentals of design, to initiate them to design as a creative problem solving process, and to develop a highly evolved ‘design’ attitude and understanding of the relationship with culture and human senses, emotions and feelings. In the Foundation Programme, basic design courses are augmented by related studies of Science and Liberal Arts, to help and develop an understanding of the Indian milieu, user needs, applications, processing of design and synthesis.
The Foundation Programme is geared to inculcate the development of values, attitudes, materials and sensorial skills necessary for any design specialisation. It aspires to create an awareness of the changing environment by constantly relating the students’ learning to real life situations. The programme provides the necessary direction, stimuli, facilities and experience to foster creativity and thereby help each individual to discover their own identity, ability and potential. The Foundation Programme is the basis on which the remaining design curriculum is built. It also makes students appreciate the multidisciplinary nature of design.Admission is open to students who have passed or who will appear for qualifying examinations under the Higher Secondary (10+2), or equivalents like AISSCE/ IB/ ICSE etc. Candidates passing the Institute’s admission tests/interviews will be admitted, subject to passing their qualifying examinations before they join the Institute.

Product DesignProduct Design is concerned primarily with the relationship between products and systems and those who use them. The Product Design programme at NID inculcates a user-centred approach and processes. Responsibility and concern towards the social, physical and ecological environment is emphasized in the process of developing innovative ideas.
The Product Design programme commences with inputs in elements of three-dimensional form, ergonomics (human factors) and an introduction to the forming of various kinds of materials. Along with this, students also acquire workshop, technical drawing and presentation abilities. Emphasis is placed on learning through participation and teamwork. Design projects start in the very first semester and continue throughout the programme, forming the core of a product designer’s education. These projects gradually increase in their level of complexity
and cover a variety of situations that product designers are likely to encounter in their professional careers. Projects are supported by theoretical inputs in structures and strength of materials, technical studies, production processes, as well as ergonomics.
In addition to courses in design, technology and ergonomics, specific courses develop general awareness of areas relevant to product design. These are History of Design, Information Theory, Computer-Aided Design, Design Management and Marketing, Value Engineering and Systems Thinking. An important component of the programme is the exposure to various levels of the manufacturing industry through field visits and projects.

A graphic design student, in addition to a thorough grounding in design abilities and theoretical issues, undertakes the study of the cultural and historical context in which designers need to function, as well as the social and ethical factors that influence design decisions. The ultimate aim is to stimulate the development of independent critical judgment, sound research skills, the ability to think creatively and practice design as a professional.
The last decade or so has witnessed a near total transformation in the way a graphic designer works. The expansion and application of the electronic media has made graphic reproduction technologies more accessible to the designer. Paradoxically, traditional skills have become more necessary than before. Quality and creative solutions contextual to the user’s needs are still a basic human input. The fundamental importance of creating a visual vocabulary through drawing, the development of aesthetic judgment, values of form, proportion, image and word have become an integral part of learning graphic design at NID.
During their period of study, students in graphic design are encouraged to work on a variety of projects, majoring in the selected sub-domain of graphic design. The areas covered include
Graphic Design
typography & type design, publication design, image making, illustration, photography, packaging, print design, corporate identity, branding and information & communication systems like signage or way finding.
Students, on successful completion of the programme would have acquired the competencies to find placements with leading graphic design agencies working in the area of branding, publication houses, and communication design firms. They could also start their own design studios.

The New Media Design programme at NID attempts to critically examine the relationship between technology and culture. Media, ‘old’ and ‘new’, such as print, radio, television, cinema, Internet, virtual reality, video games and mobile telephony, to mention a few, have a profound impact on our culture.
Understanding these various media and the impact they (may) create is crucial to understand how our societies are shaped. This aspect is an essential component of New Media Studies.Students on the New Media programme spend the first semester on design fundamentals as part of a common foundation programme. Design projects are a core component of the programme. Through a diverse set of projects, students gain the opportunity to:a) Learn various skills (tools, techniques and
methods) of making physical or virtual objects/processes, using hand tools or digital tools.
b) Explore various medium’s such as moving
images (film/video/animation), physical computing, and sound for example, from a New Media perspective.
c) Learn about New Media theory through lectures, seminars, public events and self-directed research, and apply theoretical frameworks to their design projects.
d) Explore and understand notions of interactivity and interaction design.
e) Enrich the ability to perceive and judge quality of aesthetic experiences in design solutions.
f) Develop and refine their ideas and methods of working and thinking.
The programme is trans-disciplinary in nature, applying and integrating knowledge from various disciplines. In this sense, it is a unique combination of design, art, science and technology.
