National Element Code & Title:

CUVDES04B Integrate colour theory and design processes in response to a brief

Elements:

1. Examine information on colour theory and design
processes.

2. Apply and combine colour theory and design processes to produce samples.

Learning Outcomes

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and integrate colour theory and design processes using photographic images. This is a core unit in design fundamentals and as such underpins many other specialisation units.
On successful completion of this unit, you will explored ways in which colour theoru and design processes can be explored and combined to meet the needs of a brief


Overview of Assessment

Students are required to complete class tutorial exercises, participate in class discussions and research various applications of innovative imaging techniques. Students will also be required to produce proof sheets and within a workflow process, produce final screen and hard copy prints via a range of output mediums including lab, inkjet and darkroom for their assessment in this course.
