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 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

You will learn to develop skills that are specific to the discipline of graphics. The course ensures that you develop in-depth technical knowledge and ability in the domain of graphics, in a practice based workshop setting. 


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes: 

PLO4: Apply advanced visualization and representation skills (including use of drawing, modelling and colour) 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 Consolidate and develop a personal approach to learning and practicing technical skills regarding the domain of graphics 

CLO2. Understand the working process of a range of design techniques and approaches used in the domain of graphics 

CLO3. Consolidate and develop a practice-based approach to research, particularly in the domain of graphics 

CLO4 Demonstrate a knowledge of how design processes and approaches may be applied in a production workflow. 

CLO5 Evaluate a desired graphics production outcome with attention to its situation and context. 


Overview of Learning Activities

You will focus on identifying the specific skills you need to further develop your design abilities in the discipline of graphics. Learning activities include: 

  • Studio sessions where skills are developed and through prototyping ideas into material design artefacts within workshop environments
  • Developing a practice of journaling design ideas Lectures and studio tutorials
  • Peer review processes
  • Independent design inquiry and critique 

The studio format gives you the opportunity to explore and apply social, contextual and theoretical design issues in depth and through a variety of approaches, technical principles, real and simulated situations and practical constraints. 


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.
