• production of a range of samples or concept realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms
• knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional work.
TASK 1 -The elements & principles design statement using the city walk - due week 4
This assessment relates to learning the language of the design industry. It will involve taking photographs on a
’City Walk’ and participating in class discussion about design elements and principals followed by a written design statement.
