Develops the principles of production, editing and design of screen- and print-based documents and multimedia for web-based delivery. Students will through production engage with social and cultural communication theories.

Objectives On successful completion of the course, the student will have:

1. gained skills in the development of print and on-line publications;
2. gained skills in the editing of publications;
3. engaged with the conceptual and technical aspects of design for cross-media delivery of publications;
