Communication
Create visual content that organises information and makes a message understandable. Combine typography, colour, composition and digital production in a project of your own. Develop a reasoned design concept, work with appropriate tools and prepare files for different media. Rights clearance and consistent use of brand elements form part of responsible professional practice.

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO CAPABILITY
For communication, marketing, HR and administrative professionals, entrepreneurs and beginners interested in design. The emphasis is adapted to your current skills, available software and the communication materials you need to create in your work.
YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY
These modules form the core programme. Where useful, we refine the emphasis, examples and learning activities to reflect your professional context, starting point and objectives.
Translate a communication task into a clear brief covering audience, message, format and constraints. Use research and sketches to explore alternative directions. Assess concepts against what they need to accomplish rather than relying solely on personal taste or a current visual trend.
Combine type, spacing, grids and colour into a clear visual hierarchy. Exercises examine readability, contrast and emphasis. Check whether the design remains understandable at smaller sizes and under different viewing conditions, including when information must be scanned quickly.
Use the software agreed for your project and distinguish raster imagery, vector graphics and page layout. File organisation, layers and reusable elements support efficient work. Learn to choose a tool for its purpose and recognise the technical limitations that affect production.
Adapt a concept for a website, social media, presentation or printed material. Check resolution, aspect ratio, file format and export settings deliberately. For print, confirm the chosen supplier's production requirements before approving and delivering final artwork.
Develop practical rules for recurring design elements and document their use. Check the origin and permitted use of photographs, fonts and third-party works. Guidance from the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property provides context for responsible use of creative material.
Produce a communication asset and improve it through specific feedback. Document the result alongside the brief, design decisions and technical requirements. Build a portfolio case that demonstrates how you approached the problem as well as showing the final visual output.

GOOD TO KNOW
For communication, marketing, HR and administrative professionals, entrepreneurs and beginners interested in design. The emphasis is adapted to your current skills, available software and the communication materials you need to create in your work. The programme is available to private individuals and organisations, including company teams. OSAM welcomes learners living or working in Switzerland as well as international participants joining live online.
OSAM is an eduQua-certified continuing education institution. An OSAM certificate documents the learning agreed for your programme; eduQua is a quality label for the institution, not federal recognition of every individual course.
OSAM’s work connects individual professional development with the needs of companies in Switzerland and internationally. Client references and learner reviews below offer a practical view of that work.
You develop skills you can apply in real situations, with guidance from experienced practitioners and access to learning materials on the OSAM platform. The programme focuses on these outcomes:
Yes. We start with the established programme and refine the emphasis, practical cases and learning support where useful.

Tools are agreed before the course according to your objectives and existing licences. Required software and any additional costs should be clarified explicitly in the proposal.
