Introduction
In my earlier career as a successful senior graphic designer, illustrator and art director, I worked for some of the largest international and national advertising agencies, communication companies and government organizations in Australia. Working with, and to, a client’s brief was an essential aspect of the art and design process in tandem with the creative process. With my graphic design and textile art/design background and skills, I was able to inspire my students to critically analyze and demonstrate the relationship of the design inspiration/communication to the historical, cultural or contemporary factors that influenced their design process, within the framework of the client brief and the final artwork or item.
This post covers some of the works created by my students in the Visual Communication and Design course, Design and Technology Teaching Studies, Faculty of Education and Arts, School of Education, The University of Newcastle, Australia - where I have taught as a casual lecturer.
Unfortunately, I can only present a small number of the excellent packaging design and textile design works that my students produced in this post.
Synopsis for Technology Teaching Studies 2
School of Education, Faculty of Education and Arts
The University of Newcastle, Australia.
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of analyzing a design brief and implementing and exploring design solutions. Through a critical analysis of the 7-10 Design & Technology syllabus, students acquire understandings across a range of context areas nominated in the syllabus. Students explore their own design and making skills, then apply these understandings to develop new learning experiences.
Design Project and Presentation:
(a) Knowledge and skills to apply the design process to a design brief through the production of a design task.
(b) Knowledge and skills to identify the cognitive demand of the design brief and locate the project within context of the syllabus outcome levels.
