Multimedia Design Studio
The Multimedia Design team deliver creative solutions across both digital and print media. We work closely with colleagues from faculties and services, as well as partner organisations and external businesses, to produce a wide range of marketing materials – from prospectuses and advertisements to corporate publications. Our projects also extend into areas such as interior design, animation, website design, and video editing.
We are the guardians of the University’s visual identity, ensuring it is represented with clarity and consistency across all media and digital platforms.
Our Multimedia designers provide expert advice and creative direction to help you develop materials that communicate your message effectively. Every project we deliver reflects professional, innovative, and contemporary design standards in line with the University’s Brand Guidelines.
Please note: The University now has a Print and Merchandise Policy in place which must be followed when placing any orders. We kindly ask that you read this policy before submitting your request.
