What it covers
This unit provides students with opportunities to identify and explore individual design interest areas that link design research and practice. The unit is structured to enhance students' knowledge and understanding of the link between design research, creative innovation and practice-based application. Studio classes provide opportunities for students to initiate, explore and expand individual areas of design interest into project opportunities. The projects will give students the scope to blend contemporary design research and advance their practice techniques. Students will be expected to demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of type and image as well as typesetting and conventions.
