Overview of Assessment
Evidence of the following is essential:
Production of a range of samples or concepts realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms.
Knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional forms
Assessment Tasks
Compulsory WIP (Work in Progress)
Throughout this course there are associated learning activities or exercises that are compulsory.
They will be identified as a Compulsory WIP.
These exercises/activities must be completed in a timely manner as indicated in the weekly schedule to allow you to build knowledge and progress to the formal assessment.
Even if you complete and pass the formal assessment, if you haven’t completed the WIP you are unable to pass this course overall.
Compulsory WIPS
Exercise 1 Due week 2
Exercise 2 Due week 4
Exercise 3 Due week 6
