Visual Communications - Major Project
Description
The final year is concerned with developing a body of work for the students' portfolio. Students undertake a student-led major project which consolidates certain emergent skill sets along with design theory and critical and contextual studies. Attention will be drawn to research methods for designers and evaluating graphic design exhibitions and graduate work. Students will explore a number of existing and self-initiated briefs and develop a Major Project by end of year. The project is developed through cycles of planning, research, ideation, design development and iteration, testing and implementation. Students are supported by peers and supervisors in the development of work for exhibition.
