Design Projects 3: Designing for Print and Graphic Environments

20 Units 2000 Level Course

Not available in 2014

This course introduces students to a variety of design for print and static 3D / environmental graphic applications through a series of practical and experimental project briefs. It will cover key professional applications of design for print and static 3D / environmental graphic media as well as enabling opportunities for more experimental approaches to their use. It will explore the relationship between content generation and image, type and graphic interplay with particular emphasis on layout design and static 3D / environmental graphics.

Objectives On completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Conceive and design a variety of print and static 3D / environmental graphic forms of visual communication;
2. Demonstrate and apply a creative understanding of the interplay between content, image, type and graphic elements;
3. Generate content for professional and experimental print and static 3D / environmental graphic design applications;
4. Complete design projects to production ready standards through project driven self-tuition of relevant production skills.
Content Topics will include:
1. The relationship between print and 3D / environmental graphic design content and form;
2. Concept and content generation;
3. Layout and design for print and 3D / environmental graphic media;
4. Professional and experimental applications of print and 3D / environmental graphic media design.
