Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module introduces students to graphic design and illustration processes to develop ideas through different media and processes. Students will develop ideas and experiment with observations made from primary and secondary research. As is essential for the designer to produce new and interesting work, this project introduces a range of techniques and design processes to help develop creative thinking and to find personal and original solutions. This will include collage, digital media, drawing, photography and research. 1. Primary research, direct observation and experimentation. 2. Secondary research and idea development though mind maps. 3. Developing ideas through digital iterations. 4. Developing ideas for visual identity using colour and type. 5. Presentation formats that might include mood boards, stylescapes and verbal presentations.
