Visual Communication Design
The Visual Communication Design study examines the way visual language can be used to convey ideas, information and messages in the fields of communication, environmental and industrial design. Designers create and communicate through visual means to influence everyday life for individuals, communities and societies. Visual communication design relies on drawing as the primary component of visual language to support the conception and visualisation of ideas. Consequently, the study emphasises the importance of developing a variety of drawing skills to visualise thinking and to present potential solutions. Students employ a design process to generate and develop visual communications. This study enables students to: • develop and apply drawing skills using a range of techniques • develop design thinking • develop a range of skills in selecting and applying media, materials and manual and digital methods to support design processes • apply a design process to create visual communications • understand how key design elements, design principles, media, materials and manual and digital methods contribute to the creation of their own visual language. • develop a capacity to undertake ongoing design thinking while conceiving, communicating and presenting ideas • understand how historical, social, cultural, environmental, legal, ethical and contemporary factors influence visual communications.
