In Levels 7 and 8, students research and investigate the practices and viewpoints of designers in the creation of visual communications and gain an understanding of how to visually communicate ideas to an audience. They experiment and develop their skills in creative, critical and reflective thinking through the use of a design process. Students consider social, ethical, economic, and environmental factors of visual communication design practice.
Students identify, analyse, interpret and evaluate visual communications from a range of cultures, times and places. They investigate the use of visual language through the use of drawing conventions, design elements and principles and how these communicate ideas to different audiences in different contexts and locations.
Students develop an understanding of safe and ethical practices when generating, developing and refining visual design presentations, including exploring sustainable practices.
By the end of Level 8, students identify and describe how designers use visual communication practices to respond to briefs in different historical, social and cultural contexts. They apply this knowledge in the development of their own visual communication practices.
Students select and use appropriate drawing conventions, methods, materials, media, design elements and design principles to create effective visual communications.
Students evaluate how they and others are affected and influenced by visual communications from different cultures, times and places. They identify and describe practices of visual communication designers in visual communications from different cultures, times and places.
