L2 Design and Visual Communication

L2DVC
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss J. Durdevic.

Two, half year projects from a student driven perspective. Brief, context and specifications are researched extensively by students before design ideation and refinement begins. Approximately 1/3 of course content is skill development where exercises and “real life learning” takes place. During the year, students will delve into important design principles through 2 projects. Although both will be product or spatial related, the design context aims to solve 2 very different world problems (new learning will take place within each assessment).
