• Visual Communication Design: Levels 9 and 10 description

  In levels 9 and 10, students build on their awareness of how designers communicate ideas with a specific purpose, to a targeted audience, using different visual communication design practices and viewpoints. They refine their personal aesthetic through their development of knowledge, understanding...

• The Arts | Visual Communication Design: Learning in Visual Communication Design

  In Visual Communication Design, students develop the skills and practice to communicate ideas and messages in visual communications. Visual communication design practice includes the use of design thinking skills and design as a process. Drawing conventions and the use of design elements and principles...

  Overview material | Visual Communication Design

• VCAVCDE001

  Explore and apply methods, materials, media, design elements and design principles to create and present visual communications

  Elaborations

  • experiment with combinations of design elements and principles to create visual communications that effectively communicate ideas.
  • annotating the use of design elements and principles in visualisation drawings
  • discussing the use of design elements and design principles in visual communications appropriate to the communication need, for example, posing questions such as ‘Which design elements and design principles help communicate their ideas clearly and why?’
  • experimenting with a range of media and materials in a selected method, for example, printing, to develop and refine visual communications
  • experimenting with two different methods to communicate an idea in visual communications, for example, illustration and photography
  • justifying the use of methods to communicate ideas in visual communications, for example, which methods suit the style of the visual communication and the intended audience?

  VCAVCDE001 | The Arts | Visual Communication Design | Levels 7 and 8 | Explore and Represent Ideas

• VCAVCDV002

  Use manual and digital drawing methods and conventions to create a range of visual communications

  Elaborations

  • using observational drawing to represent form, materials and surface textures
  • using visualisation drawings by making a series of quick freehand sketches that communicate ideas in relation to a target audience, for example, a package for a fragile object, or a typography design
  • discussing the purpose of drawing in visual communication design, for example, how can a two dimensional shape be depicted visually to represent a three dimensional form?
  • using paraline and orthogonal drawing systems to illustrate simple packaging forms
  • demonstrating the relationship between manual and freehand drawing conventions, for example, developing a series of concept drawings for a mobile application and then refine them in a computer vector based program

  VCAVCDV002 | The Arts | Visual Communication Design | Levels 7 and 8 | Visual Communication Design Practices

• VCAVCDV008

  Use manual and digital drawing methods to create visual communications in the specific design fields of Environmental, Industrial and Communication Design

  Elaborations

  • developing and refining visual communications using relevant drawing conventions and methods specific to a selected design field such as environmental, industrial and communication design
  • investigating the use of drawing systems to communicate ideas in different design fields, for example, manual, digital or technical drawing systems used in the different design fields of industrial, environmental and communication design.
  • selecting manual and technical drawing conventions relevant to different stages of the design process, for example, visualisation, development and refinement
  • using paraline, orthogonal and perspective drawing systems to communicate concepts in the development and refinement of visual communications
  • selecting and applying relevant manual and digital drawing methods conventions in the design process to communicate ideas
  • investigating the history of drawing conventions in visual communication design, for example, how drawing conventions relevant to specific design fields have changed over time, considering the use of methods, materials and media
  • evaluating the use of personal aesthetic, visual language and drawing conventions when creating visual communications
