Design Briefs
Students will engage with a series of design briefs that will both challenge and engage the learner. The briefs will allow students to expand various skills they have already learned, while pushing their conceptual boundaries and technical knowledge. The project will allow the learner to investigate many different avenues within design, expanding their digital skills and enhancing their creativity, while producing word aimed towards a high end portfolio.
Using industry standard and relevant briefs, students will prepare themselves for working in the creative industry, they will engage in active visual research, adapt to current trends. The student will enhance their technical skills, dependant on the direction their project takes, adapting their skill set to achieve their solution.
Working in a studio environment, students will complete a series of presentation as a method of self and peer critical analysis. This analysis allows the student to sharpen the effectiveness of their visual communication, while enhancing their presentation skills.
Design briefs can range from logo and corporate identity, advertising, signage, packaging, video and animation, branding, typography, layout design, editorial, GUI and interface design. Students will be required to complete all artwork, photography, illustration that are needed to achieve their design solution.

Portfolio
Create an industry standard portfolio. That showcases your understanding of design and demonstrates your ability to creatively problem solve through visual communications. Create both a print and digital portfolio that showcases your understanding of design and demonstrates your ability to create engaging, and effect design work.
|
|
Major Project
Student will undertake a major design project. The design brief will be written and self-directed by the learner, allowing them to investigate a major field of study. They will take on all research, design and development necessary to create a solution that will showcase their ability and design skills. They will take the project from concept to completion, while self-analysing the work and the process and their solution. The final products will be finished to the highest professional standards, resulting in a final degree showcase.
