Graphic design practice
20 points * 5 studio hours and one 1-hour lecture per week * Full-year subject * Caulfield * Prerequisites: GDN1150
Objectives On successful completion of this subject students should be able to apply and reinforce the basic design skills gained in GDN2110 (Graphic design theory); demonstrate a creative and practical approach to solving design problems; develop a large degree of personal expression through experimentation and critical inquiry; demonstrate competence in the use of materials and design tools to obtain a high standard of finish and presentation.
Synopsis This subject deals with research, concept development and resolution of problems in two dimensional and three dimensional design. Projects are structured to bring together skills acquired in other areas of study such as typography, photography, illustration, computer studies etc. The complexity and demands of projects will increase during the second semester, however the overall aim of the subject is to create an atmosphere of enthusiasm, experimentation and inquiry, allowing for a large degree of personal expression. This is a core subject and a pass must be attained to proceed to the next year's studies. This subject is supported by a two-hour workshop per week designed to complement work-in-progress at the time. Emphasis is placed on conceptualising and resolving assigned briefs within the two-hour time frame. This weekly session is called `graphic design practice studio'.
Assessment Assigned projects: 80% * Studio workshop: 20%
