Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Required Prior Study
You should have satisfactorily completed your Year One courses as well as GRAP2962 Design Discpline Skills – Illustration 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 select and research a range of theoretical construct, model or idea, and investigate how this informs practices and approaches within the design discipline of illustration. Presentations will form part of a seminar series where you will have the opportunity to learn from the research and findings of your peers.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
The course supports your development in the following Program Learning Outcomes:
PLO1 Critically review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge from the history of design, and adapt this knowledge to diverse social, ethical and cultural contexts.
PLO2 Critically review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise knowledge of diverse design theories, concepts and approaches, and adapt this knowledge to local and international contexts.
PLO8 Develop responsibility and accountability for development of a personal design practice that demonstrates an original, ethical, innovative and professional approach to design.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO1 Critically analyse and interpret the formal attributes of historical and contemporary real-world outcomes in the domain of illustration
CLO2 Synthesise knowledge of diverse design theories, concepts and approaches, and adapt to local and international social, ethical and cultural contexts
CLO3 Specify an original production outcome through such tools as personas, mood boards, storyboards, mock-ups, schematics and blueprints, visual reference and field research
CLO4 Employ appropriate academic writing, citation, presentation skills and evidence of personal development of illustration practice.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be required to engage in a range of different activities central to exploring and documenting the fundamentals of illustration practice. The intention of the learning activities is to allow students the opportunity to explore, experiment and engage with deeper theoretical illustration practice and visual communication. Learning activities support active participation in discussion, debate, critical peer review as an iterative, recurring and continuous process of development.
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: Illustration Research Analysis, 50%, CLOs 1, 2 & 4
Assessment Task 2: Illustration Research Project, 50%, CLOs 2, 3 & 4
Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks.
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
