Communication design can also refer to a systems-based approach, in
which the totality of media and messages within a culture or
organization are designed as a single integrated process rather than a
series of discrete efforts. This is done through communication channels
that aim to inform and attract the attention of the people you are
focusing your skills on. Design skills must be tailored to fit to
different cultures of people, while maintaining pleasurable visual
design. These are all important pieces of information to add to a media
communications kit to get the best results.
Communication design seeks to attract, inspire, create desires and
motivate the people to respond to messages, with a view to making a
favorable impact to the bottom line of the commissioning body, which can
be either to build a brand, move sales, or for humanitarian purposes.
Its process involves strategic business thinking, using market research, creativity, and problem-solving.
Communications designers translate ideas and information through a
variety of media. Their particular talent lies not only in the
traditional skills of the hand, but also in their ability to think
strategically in design and marketing terms, in order to establish
credibility through the communication.
The term communication design is often used interchangeably with visual communication, but has an alternative broader meaning that includes auditory, vocal, touch and smell. Examples of communication design include information architecture, editing, typography, illustration, web design, animation, advertising, ambient media, visual identity design, performing arts, copywriting and professional writing skills applied in the creative industries
Students of communication design learn how to create visual messages
and broadcast them to the world in new and meaningful ways. In the
complex digital environment around us, communication design has become a powerful means of reaching out to the target audience. Students learn how to combine communication with art and technology. Communication Design discipline involves teaching how to design web pages, video games, animation, motion graphics and more.
Communication Design has content as its main purpose. It must achieve
a reaction, or get customer to see a product in a genuine way to
attract sales or get across a message. Students of Communications Design
are often Illustrators, Graphic Designers, Web designers, Advertising
artists, Animators, Video Editors or Motion graphic artists, or even
printmakers and conceptual artists. The term Communications Design is
fairly general and practitioners work in various mediums to get a
message across.
Subdisciplines
Visual design
Visual design is the design working in any media or support of visual communication.
This is considered by some to be more correct terminology to cover all
types of design applied in communication that uses visual channel for
transmission of messages, precisely because this term relates to the concept of visual language of some media and not limited to support a particular form of content, as do the terms graphic design (graphics)[8][need quotation to verify] or Interface design (electronic media).

The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
