Objectives On successful completion of this subject the student will be able to demonstrate competency in creative research and practical skills; make decisions and solve design problems at speed within a specific deadline; obtain a high standard of presentation roughs consolidating the research process.
Synopsis The basic knowledge and skills obtained in GDN1110 (Graphic design theory) will be further developed through a series of projects that will enable the student to effectively communicate concepts in the visual form of type, symbols, images, layout, and in three dimensional form. Creativity, decisions at speed, and a professional standard of presentation roughs will be emphasised. By class critique, students will be exposed to group opinion and will be expected to clearly rationalise their particular approach to problem solving. Students will undertake client-based projects which are judged to be of the appropriate educational merit. Projects initiated in this subject may be extended into GDN2150 (Graphic design practice). This is a core subject and successful completion of this subject is necessary to proceed to third-year studies.
