Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Required Prior Study
You should have satisfactorily completed your Year One courses as well as GRAP2968 Design Discipline Theory - Graphics and GRAP2960 Design Discipline Skills - Graphics before you commence this course.
Alternatively, you may be able to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge before you start this course.
Contact your course coordinator if you think you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning.
Course Description
In this course, you will develop an advanced understanding of the principles and techniques of contemporary design practice, through inquiry-based learning in a studio environment. The course includes a series of studio-based projects, through which you will explore current and new thinking and specialized practice in design. Your project will focus on the specific design discipline of graphics.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Program Learning Outcomes
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
PLO4: Apply advanced visualization and representation skills (including the use of drawing, modeling, and color) to support design practice.
PLO5: Apply core technical skills and emerging design knowledge, skills and technologies, both independently and collaboratively, to enable further learning and professional practice.
PLO6: Exercise creativity, critical thinking and independent judgement to identify and solve real- world design challenges and define and communicate innovative solutions.
PLO7: Apply planning, problem-solving and decision- making skills to the end-to-end design process.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO1 Establish a preproduction outcome in a manner as best serves its particular needs
CLO2 Refine production-related outcomes in| response to critical feedback
CLO3 Produce a design outcome in a manner that best communicates its key attributes.
CLO4 Engage in tasks such as ideas generation, mapping, sketching, concept and design development, reviewing and refinement of work
CLO5 Apply trouble-shooting and problem-solving approaches
CLO6 Formulate and maintain effective production strategies and workflow
Overview of Learning Activities
Delivered in a design studio format, you will be actively engaged in learning that involves a range of face-to-face, self-directed and online activities. This course engages you in learning about design via an immersion into specific aspects of the discipline, its methods and practices through self-directed design projects. These projects involve a range of planned learning experiences including:
- Individual and group problem solving.
- Sketch ideation and the iterative development of design concepts.
- Making and prototyping for the purpose of further refining propositions.
- Presenting and reflecting on individual and collective learning processes.
Learning activities include studio sessions where ideas are developed and documented through a variety of methods: prototyping ideas into material design artifacts within workshop environments; developing a practice of journaling design ideas; lectures and studio tutorials; peer review processes; and, independent design inquiry and critique.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT University will provide you with a range of resources and tools to engage in this course, including studio and workshop facilities, online systems and professional equipment. A selected range of supplies are available, as well as support from technical staff. You will also have access to a wide range of online resources through RMIT Vietnam University Library.
Overview of Assessment
You will be assessed on how well you meet the course Learning Outcomes and on your development against the Program Learning Outcomes.
Assessment may include projects, critiques, reports, journals, and/or presentations individually or in groups.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment Task 1:
Creative Production, 50%
CLO1, CLO2, & CLO 3
Assessment Task 2:
Creative Process, 50%
