Course Description
In this course, you will experience the design process ranging from idea development, through to digital artwork and preparation for printing and production processes, and how these can be aided by computer applications. You will analyse and discuss aspects of visual design, discovering best practice in the field and exploring the processes involved in concept development for particular target audiences. You will develop skills and knowledge in how design principles, use of colour, application of typographic principles and other design elements are enabled in a computing environment. The skills and knowledge you develop will have application in visually communicating your own work as well as working with professional design practitioners in your future career.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Navigate any graphical design software using knowledge of common interface elements.
- Develop and maintain a disciplined digital working environment, with a focus on ease of workflow, file management and file structure.
- Troubleshoot a creative project through an application of problem-solving techniques.
- Correctly employ terminology appropriate and relevant to a digital working environment.
This course supports your development in these program learning outcomes:
Apply core technical skills and emerging design knowledge, skills and technologies, both independently and collaboratively, to enable further learning and professional practice.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in learning that involves a range of activities such as studios, project work, lectures, tutorials, class discussion, individual and group activities. During this course you will also participate in small-scale project work to develop your applications skills within a studio environment.
