Synopsis This unit provides an environment and format within which students can apply skills developed in previous units. The focus of this unit is to further develop expertise in the area of digital photography. This typically involves the conception and origination of photographic material. Students should have undertaken previous units in photomedia and have the confidence and skills required to prepare for and shoot their own material. Tuition is primarily given individually and focuses on the needs and objectives of students within the class. Students develop and explore digital imaging/illustration options at a sophisticated level. The product or outcome of project work may be directly applied to design work undertaken in other subjects. Students can choose between a series of set assignments or to develop their own projects in consultation with studio staff. Opportunities exist for group critique and evaluation sessions throughout the semester. The course is delivered through demonstration/workshop sessions in groups of up to fifteen students. The subject may run concurrently with DIS3105 depending on enrolments.
