The Use of Art and Design Images in Graphic Design Courses in Higher Education

A project to investigate the use of art and design images in higher education courses was undertaken as part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership between the Bridgeman Art Library Limited and the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. The principal objective of the project was the exploration of how art and design images complement the educational experience and how they inform the creative process of graphic design. The project consisted of various stages: meeting with employees at The Bridgeman Art Library to document their experiences with image requests from graphic design clients; creating sets of suitable images; licensing images to students and their instructor at the university; surveying the students about their experiences; and obtaining the instructor's feedback. The goals were to explore the ways in which art and design images can be used in teaching and in student coursework and to investigate whether the licensing of carefully selected sets of images, rather than the entire database, to educational institutions could work as a business model.
