DESIGN : THE ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENT FOR

SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTS
AND PROMOTION
Design lies behind everything we buy, use and desire. Good design is attractive, useable
and practical and also sells. Good designers combine aesthetics with functionality,
communications with entrepreneurialism, visual communications capability with effective
written and spoken communications and the ability to work and empathise with others.

Designers work on everything from household products to industrial ones, from


advertisements to any visual communication, from small to massive projects, for
themselves and for large corporations. Every time you buy something a designer has
been involved in creating it and promoting it. What you buy may have been made
in one country, but has usually been designed in UK, Europe or USA. The net flow
of payments for licences and royalties of designs from manufacturing countries such
as China to UK is massive. British designers are
amongst the leading designers in the world and have
developed their expertise in UK Universities such as
Staffordshire University. Now you can experience the
advantages of studying design with Staffordshire
University in Malaysia. The Degrees offered by
APIIT have the same curriculum as at Staffordshire
University in the UK. They will develop your abilities
to work on your own and in a team in initiating and
creating a wide range of products and promotional
activities, including advertisements for print, Staffordshire is also the home of the
