Course Description
The course is designed for you to apply your critical skills to develop creative concepts and resolutions to industry style briefs. Opportunities will be given to present your design to others and industry at both concept and final stage for ongoing critique and feedback. Through analysis you will continue to develop and refine your individual visual language in your approach to graphic design tasks and problems.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) of the AD022 Associate Degree in Graphic Design:
1. Identify and employ a range of graphic and communication techniques in order to design, refine and produce artwork using well developed digital production skills for multiple contexts.
2. Demonstrate innovation and critical thinking when applying technical and creative skills to address artistic and industry problems.
6. Reference historical and contemporary design theory and culture in order to develop and adapt knowledge and skills to a range of graphic design outcomes.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
1. Analyse and interpret a complex industry brief and develop creative and individual design concepts to address the brief
2. Present and discuss concepts and outcomes to a group for response and feedback
3. Refine and apply graphic design to multiple elements of a complex industry brief
4. Use consolidated skills with industry software to execute graphic design into a range of required formats
