• Cross-Media Graphic Creation: Design for print (posters, newsletters, brochures), digital (social media graphics, web design, ads), and broadcast media (TV graphics, lower thirds, transitions).
• Project-Based Learning: Guide mini projects (social media posts, news cards, infographics, motion ads) and supervise capstone projects (360° campaign graphics across print, digital, and motion).
• Portfolio & Industry Readiness: Mentor students on preparing a design portfolio showcasing multi-platform skills; arrange workshops/masterclasses with professional designers and editors.
• Audio-Visual Integration: Train students in basic audio manipulation (noise cleaning, voice level adjustments, background music/effects).
• Industry Linkages: Stay updated on design and software trends and bring in real client briefs or live projects (through collaborations with the Visual Communication Department).

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Visual Communication, Multimedia, Design, or Mass Communication.
• Minimum 2–3 years of professional/teaching experience in graphic design and multimedia production.
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and audio editing tools.
• Strong understanding of design workflows across print, digital, and broadcast.
• Strong foundation in design principles and creative storytelling; technical proficiency across graphic, video, motion, and audio tools.
• Ability to break down complex workflows into student-friendly learning modules.
