RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems and access to specialised facilities and relevant software. You will also have access of the library resources.
It is advised that students come prepared to each weeks lessons: Bring design magazines (x3) Glue stick and scisors each week.
Overview of Assessment
Evidence of the following is essential:
• 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.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this course are graded.
Feedback throughout the course may be written, verbal or a combination of both.
To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.
ASSESSMENT 1_The elements & principles design statement using the city walk._due week 3
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.
ASSESSMENT 2 _A2 Presentation Board_due week 6
It involves working on and visually presenting a materials board for the decoration industry. The final submission is an A2 materials board related to an inspirational image of an interior.
ASSESSMENT 3_ Rug Design_due week 10
This project brings together all the elements of previous learning and applies them to an A3 board displaying an original rug design. This project will be assessed with an industry partner.
ASSESSMENT 4 _Visual Diary _due week 10
The visual diary is a record of investigations undertaken, design concepts and development across all projects.
Assessment tasks 1, 2, 4 are formative tasks. Assessment task 3 is a summative assessment task.
