Course Description
In this course you will gain a foundation in the traditional creative practice of design as it relates to digital media. You will also investigate the theory, history and practice of creative 2D work and production, while developing your own creative concepts and aesthetic, analytical, and technical skills. During the course you will begin to develop critical and reflective approaches in relation to the design and development of your own imagery within digital media.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
You will be assessed on your development of the following capabilities:
- Acquire knowledge of visual literacy and design theory, interactive and motion design, moving image, communications technologies, and digital media production skills and their application to digitally mediated communication.
- Apply theoretical knowledge, conceptual skills and production techniques to the development of digital media solutions for communications problems.
Upon the successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Discuss and apply design techniques including light, shade, line and collage.
- Create original designs incorporating graphic elements.
- Analyse and apply 2D design theory and techniques in the development of imagery.
- Reflect upon and discuss design and ideas in your work and the work of others.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be engaged in learning that involves a range of face-to-face activities such as, group and class discussion, in class activities and individual research.
Overview of Learning Resources
