Course Description

This course covers the skills and knowledge required to explore and apply the design process in a 2-dimensional (2D) way in response to a brief. This is a core unit in design fundamentals and as such underpins many other specialisation units.


National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

CUVDES02A Apply the design process to 2D work in response to a brief

Element:

Apply design processes to produce samples of two dimensional design work

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Identify and access relevant sources of information on design processes specifically relating to two dimensional applications
1.2 Use knowledge of relevant design processes to inform work

Element:

Examine information on two dimensional design

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Select appropriate materials, tools and equipment required for the production of design samples in accordance with the brief
2.2 Follow appropriate and safe procedures to apply instances of design processes
2.3 Consider outcomes in relation to processes used and suitability for the brief
2.4 Explore different approaches to satisfy the requirements of the brief
2.5 Produce a range of samples which demonstrate the application of design processes to two dimensional work
2.6 Present and store samples in format which takes account of the need for professional presentation and potential need for the samples in future work


Learning Outcomes


1 Examine information on two dimensional design
2 Apply design processes to produce samples of two dimensional design work


Details of Learning Activities

Proposed activities: in class exercises, project briefings and associated discussions, excursions, presentations and demonstrations.

Overview of Assessment

The assessment activities will be as follows;
Projects
Presentations
Exercises

Students will be tutored with a verbal and/or written evaluation of their progress, within class time and upon the submission of each project.

A final assessment of Competency Achieved or Not Yet Competent will be given at the end of the course when students submit all completed work. A graded assessment will also occur for this course.

To be deemed competent in the course students must demonstrate competence in all Elements and related Performance Criteria.
This unit will be delivered in a studio session called "2D & PRESENTATION STUDIO" with "Make Presentations".


Assessment Tasks

The assessment tasks are as follows: 3 x projects and 1 x project redo. The project work will generate compositions and 2D representations that explore a range of media and materials in response to a brief. Conventional and non-conventional design principles and elements will be investigated within the visual outcomes undertaken.


Assessment Matrix

HD High Distinction = 80-100%
DI Distinction = 70 -79%
CR Credit = 60 - 69%
PA Pass (Higher Grade Available) = 50 -59%
PX Pass (No Higher Grade Available) -
NN Fail = 0 - 49%
NYC(not yet competent)
CA (competency achieved)

Other Information

Attendance
The major learning experience involves studio based exercises, demonstration and production. It is strongly advised that students attend all sessions in order to engage in the required learning activities, ensuring the maximum opportunity to gain the competency.
Late submissions and single item extensions
In all courses marks are deducted for late submission unless Special Consideration or an Application for Extension is sought. If a student feels they may miss a deadline for a single item submission they may negotiate an extension with their teacher. They must negotiate the extension by the due date of submission. They must complete the Application for Extension form available for the Administration Office on level 3 B515. (This does not apply where there are a number of missed submissions due to general difficulties – see Special Consideration).
Cover Sheet for Submissions
All students must complete a submission cover sheet for ever piece of submitted work.
This signed sheet acknowledges they are aware of the plagiarism implications noted below.
Plagiarism is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person as though it is your own. It is a form of cheating and is a very serious academic offence that may lead to expulsion from the University. Plagiarised material can be drawn from, and presented in, written, graphic and visual form, including electronic data and oral presentation. Plagiarism occurs when the origin of the material used is not appropriately cited. Is also occurs through enabling plagiarism, which is the act of assisting or allowing another person to plagiarise or to copy your own work. Please make sure you consider this carefully in completing all your work and assessments in this course and if you are unsure about whether you might have plagiarised, seek help from your teacher.
Work not seen in progress
If a student hands in any work that the teacher has never seen in class or discussed with the student prior to the submission, the teacher can refuse to assess the work on the basis of authentication issues.
