| Syllabus: | In design there are set objectives in achieving success in graphic outcomes. A majority will be in print but some outcomes of impact may require further analysis and research for their success. The production component is to work hand in hand with the conceptual work in this unit as designs are developed. At briefing stage objectives need to be planned that are specific to project needs. Graphic software applications will need to be evaluated to assist in the overall design outcomes. Communication and presentation skills will be addressed in studio-based exercises, workshops and projects. Contribution to session discussions is also encouraged. |
