Graphic Design + Video Editing

Graphic Design & Video Editing Course

A campaign rarely ends with one image or one video. Explore how a visual identity, an edit and the supporting graphics can work together around the same message.

Understand the subject

What is a combined design and video workflow?

A combined graphic design and video editing path connects still and moving content around one brief. Typography, colour and image choices carry across formats; editing adds time, sequence and sound.

What you are working towards

  • Develop one visual direction across a small set of graphics and video.
  • Prepare design assets so they remain readable when they move or appear on a phone.
  • Present a connected case study with a clear contribution and an organised handover.

The learning outline

What you’ll practise.

This outline describes the learning direction. The written syllabus for your batch confirms the software, teaching sequence and assessment.

01

Read the brief together

Identify the audience, message and formats before opening the software.

02

Build the visual language

Explore type, colour, image treatment and reusable graphic elements.

03

Prepare the assets

Use image and vector workflows to organise graphics for still and moving formats.

04

Shape the sequence

Choose footage, order the story, balance sound and create readable captions.

05

Connect graphics and motion

Practise keyframes, titles and consistent visual treatment across the package.

06

Finish and explain

Review the work, export the agreed formats and present what changed during revision.

How a small project takes shape.

  1. Agree on one messageChoose a fictional product, event or service. Define the audience and the action you want it to take.
  2. Build the visual kitSet type, colour, image treatment and a few reusable elements. A consistent system saves you from redesigning every frame.
  3. Make across formatsCreate a poster and social graphic, then edit a short video using the same message and visual rules.
  4. Review the packageCheck consistency, caption readability, sound, export sizes and file names. Explain how each piece supports the brief.

Ask the library team for details ↗
Read the event name first, then the message, then the practical details. Size, spacing and grouping create a route through the same information.
  1. One lead: the event name answers “what is this?”
  2. Useful grouping: audience and practical details stay together.
  3. One next step: the enquiry instruction has its own space.

Your turn: sketch a third version using only black, white and one typeface. Can someone find the event and next step in a quick glance?

Try an example brief

A small campaign, from brief to delivery

Choose a fictional product or event. Develop a visual direction, create two social graphics and edit a short promotional video. Show how the assets share the same message and explain your decisions.

When you review it, ask: is the message clear, do the choices fit the audience, and are the files ready for their intended use?

This is a suggested fictional practice project, not a student result or a promised course outcome.

Computer, software and practice time.

A computer suited to both image work and video editing, with room for project files. Confirm the current applications, licence costs, hardware specifications and weekly practice time.

Use a small sample project to test your setup. For a paid application, include licence costs in your budget. Plan time to make work between sessions; watching a lesson and practising it are different jobs.

Questions about graphic design + video editing.

Should I learn graphic design or video editing first?

Start with your main goal. Design foundations help when you create titles and graphics; editing foundations help when the story and timing are the priority. A combined path should explain how the subjects are sequenced and how much practice each receives.

Will the combined course cover every design and editing application?

No short course can reasonably cover every application in depth. Ask for the actual software list, the skills taught in each tool and the projects used to assess them. Breadth is useful when it still leaves time to practise.

What belongs in a combined portfolio project?

Include the brief, the visual system, a small set of still graphics and a finished video. Explain your role and the revisions. Label fictional work clearly and get permission before publishing client or internship material.
