13 Design and Visual Communication 1

The areas covered in level 3 Design and Visual Communication are spatial design (architecture), product design and producing a presentation for an audience. 

Throughout the year students will continue developing their creativity, learn about the practice of designing (initiating and developing ideas), make qualitative judgments (informed decisions on aesthetic and functional aspects of design), and develop a range of drawing (visual communication) skills through an activity-based project-driven approach.

The quality of assignments and course work is expected to be at a level superior to Level 2. 

More complex design briefs, development, computer aided design skills, and understanding and visual communication skills will be required as well as a wider range of modes and media application.

The internally assessed briefs will be used as part of the evidence for externally assessed work to be sent away for marking.

Design and Visual Communication leads to design courses offered throughout most tertiary institutions and universities. Career pathways can lead into architecture, draughting, product design, fashion, furniture design and much more. Design and Visual Communication is also a useful subject for students considering a career in the building or engineering industries.

It is also possible to enter into Scholarship Visual Communication through this course.
