DGN4002 - Major project (design) part 2 - 2017

This unit is the second part of the major project sequence for the honours course, where students are expected to continue with the research initiated in DGN4001, and develop a time frame which details the final visual presentation in consultation with a supervisor and the course coordinator.

2. demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the discipline and its professional practices, with particular reference to the social, cultural and aesthetic aspects of their investigation
3. have a high level of knowledge of the contemporary discourse in design and visual communication and to be able to position their work relative to it
4. be able to debate and/or defend their practice in an informed critical appraisal
5. demonstrate they have cultivated high ambitions to perfect their practice of design.
