DES3035 2-D Design 3

Advanced · 1 credit · MDC - Media, Design, and Communication Arts

Description
Students apply theories, skills and techniques to resolve complex 2-D design problems. Emphasis is placed on exploring shape, composition, aesthetics, cultural context, materials, processes and systems, while addressing social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
Prerequisite
DES2035: 2-D Design 2
Parameters
Access to drawing tools (conventional and/or software), equipment and materials.

Outcomes The student will:

  • 1 produce an advanced 2-D design solution for an advanced level design brief

    • 1.1 identify a problem considering architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, engineering or interior design, and write a design brief

    • 1.2 identify and accommodate human factors commonly affected by design solutions

    • 1.3 describe the impact regarding shape, composition and aesthetics of the solution on the stakeholders; e.g., cultural, psychological and physiological

    • 1.4 identify and select materials based on their properties and justify their use in the context of the design solution

    • 1.5 identify and select production processes and justify their use in the context of the design solution

    • 1.6 consider environmental stewardship

  • 2 select the most appropriate solution based on the design brief

    • 2.1 assess intentions and decision making related to the application of elements and principles of design

    • 2.2 participate in interim critiques; e.g., self, peer, instructor, client

  • 3 construct presentation for design solution

    • 3.1 prepare a detailed plan for the construction and presentation of the design solution; e.g., write up, sequential diagram, safety concerns, cost and material sheet

    • 3.2 secure approval to begin the design solution

    • 3.3 identify and use techniques, tools, materials and other resources as outlined in the plan for presenting the design solution

  • 4 present and produce a portfolio-ready design solution

    • 4.1 maintain a journal/sketchbook throughout the process that illustrates skill building

    • 4.2 present design work for assessment

    • 4.3 participate in a final critique

    • 4.4 print/plot design work and include in a portfolio

  • 5 identify copyright restrictions and permissions and put them into practice

  • 6 apply consistent and appropriate work station routines

    • 6.1 demonstrate good health and safety practices; e.g., posture, positioning of hardware and furniture

    • 6.2 demonstrate security for hardware, software, supplies and personal work

  • 7 demonstrate basic competencies

    • 7.1 demonstrate fundamental skills to:

      • 7.1.1 communicate

      • 7.1.2 manage information

      • 7.1.3 use numbers

      • 7.1.4 think and solve problems

    • 7.2 demonstrate personal management skills to:

      • 7.2.1 demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviours

      • 7.2.2 be responsible

      • 7.2.3 be adaptable

      • 7.2.4 learn continuously

      • 7.2.5 work safely

    • 7.3 demonstrate teamwork skills to:

      • 7.3.1 work with others

      • 7.3.2 participate in projects and tasks

  • 8 create a transitional strategy to accommodate personal changes and build personal values

    • 8.1 identify short-term and long-term goals

    • 8.2 identify steps to achieve goals
