Aims
1. Conduct lines of enquiry into a complex challenge
2. Compile a substantial body of in-depth research using various research methodologies
3. Collaborate with a variety of specialists in both the business and design sector to expend your knowledge and perspective of your chosen discipline
4. Conceptualise abstract concepts
5. Synthesise the relationship between basic applied and practical research
6. Produce a strategy for delivering your final major project
Learning Outcomes
1.
Negotiate, argue, justify, articulate and evidence to a design and business audience your personal study plan in support of your final major project.
2.
Compile a substantial body of work that evidences critical research and in-depth lines of enquiry in support of your identified challenge and the medium by which you chose to deliver your final major project.
3.
Conduct iterative design investigation and realise design proposals evidenced in pre-production storyboards and visualisations
4.

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Following research and experimentation activities in the first three modules you will now have the opportunity and confidence to self-direct or collaborate within a team on your final major project focussing on a chosen challenge and determining the visual communication field in which you propose to address the selected challenge. During the module you will take responsibility for identifying, conducting lines of enquiry, negotiating and justifying a substantial commercial or societal challenge whether in a local or global context that will be addressed in this module and the subsequent Final Negotiated Project (7505CD)
Once your challenge is determined you will adopt a design thinking methodology to conduct extensive and in-depth research engaging with challenge stakeholders and other professionals and specialists in relevant fields.
Having carried out extensive research you will formulate a plan for addressing the challenge identifying the resources called upon in producing your final project, including the technologies to be employed, the specialists with whom to engage and having the opportunity to explore potential partnerships and collaborations to achieve your final project.
The learning activities within this module coextend and you will conduct iterative design investigation throughout to support your written narrative of addressing the specific challenge.
