GRAPHIC DESIGN UNITS The Graphic Design units listed below will typically be available to ASC students in the semester they are scheduled. Wesley Institute staff will endeavour to ensure that these classes are not scheduled at the same time as the ASC core units in a given semester. Note: although many graphic design classes are open to all students, artistic or design ability will comprise a portion of the student’s final mark for the unit. GRB102 Design History 4 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 /spring This introductory subject takes the form of illustrated lectures followed by tutorials. It assumes a chronological approach starting with the evolution of print technology in the 1500’s, progressing through the Industrial Revolution in the 1700’s, the resultant social upheaval of the 18th century and 19th century mass production and commercialism. The golden era of poster design and the brief flowering of the reactive, Arts and Craft movement in the UK and Europe are contrasted with the radical ideologies of early Modernism in the early 20th century. With this introduction, first year students discover the new, specific role and function of the graphic designer/typographer in the 20th century. This enables students to understand the traditions of their practice and the different expectations and demands of a graphic designer in a commercial context compared to those of a visual artist. Speculating on future developments with the recent, exponential growth and applications of digital alternatives in this century, Design History expands students’ awareness of the integral role of technology in practice. This focus allows students to better understand the relevance of subjects and the composite nature of their study. * Open to anyone. GRB103 Typography I 2 credits Due to scheduling difficulties Typography I is not offered in 2012 This unit introduces students to the historical evolution of typefaces and the specialised terminology used in typographic practice. Type anatomy, classification and function (e.g. text, display) are examined to discern issues of playful manipulation in comparison to factors such as readability and legibility. The work of luminary typographers is introduced and discussed before students start to investigate traditional (pre-digital) typographic practice. Students explore the design of new quotation marks each aimed at communicating a different message. This leads to simple exploratory typesetting exercises aimed at examining detailing that provides important knowledge to prepare students for more demanding practical applications. * Design skills and previous experience with design programs, such as Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is required. GRB105 Image Making I 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring First year students may have very limited visualising knowledge or skill with little or no experience or understanding of the use of tools and graphic media. Illustrated lectures, demonstrations and workshop exercises reveal the vast range of approaches and outcomes, and the potential for further development and application. 12

The unit encourages students to explore and discover the unique qualities of hand-generated images in comparison to the outcome available from digital software. Experimental exercises give students confidence to create images without reliance on technology, but also enable them to gain an understanding of the added value available for further development through scanning or photographic transfer. With developing awareness through practical experience, the inherent communication value of ‘marks’ is investigated, discussed, refined and applied to short, visual design projects. * Open to anyone. GRB202 Visual Communication in Culture 4 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring The overarching theme of this unit addresses the topic of ‘design as an instrument of change’ and investigates practitioners operating beyond the boundaries of mainstream commercial practice. It encourages discussion on the changing roles and depiction of women over the 20th century, and the influence of the Feminist Movement on visual communication. The unit also examines the conflicting ideologies and allegiances presented in graphic form as a means to disseminate and promote social concerns thus becoming valuable and accessible instruments of change. More specifically, topics include: the artist’s and designer’s relationship to politics and civic involvement; the impact of technology on image and text production; the search for national identity; the use and power of propaganda and protest; and the rise of ‘house style’, branding and corporate identity. * Open to anyone. GRB203 Advertising Design I 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring The unit introduces the principles and practice of advertising and the role of creativity within the complexities of the ‘industry’. Students investigate the function of research, demographic analysis, message development, brand awareness, strategic media planning, marketing mix and measuring audience response. The media focus this semester is on print advertising campaigns, publishing, outdoor, transit and promotional packages. Students learn to design imaginative promotional print advertising in different formats, after researching audience appeal. Students are made aware of issues such as ethics, codes of practice, and the consequences of government regulations on advertising. A further focus is the social effect of advertising on consumption, sustainability and environmental impact. * Design skills and previous experience with design programs, such as Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is required. GRB204 Motion Graphics 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring This unit outlines the history, associated technologies and the design process of moving image production and related sound. It introduces new skills such as story boarding and sound editing. Through practice, it enlarges the repertoire of a graphic designer in a field that is in constant flux, expecting knowledge and versatility with diverse applications. The unit provides the first in a series that can develop into a minor specialisation through the addition of electives. *Design skills and previous experience with design programs, such as Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is required. GRB221 Photography I 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring Photography I commences with an overview of photography and its place in the design industry.

Students will work towards a portfolio of photography that reflects a professional standard in a commercial context. * Previous knowledge and experience in photography is required.

GRB224 Drawing I 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring The emphasis in Drawing I is on the figure (life drawing), both in relation to technical proficiency and as a medium of personal expression and exploration. Students extend intellectual and practical skills in seeing, observation, analysis, selection and visual expression. Understanding of rendering form and space is developed. Exploration of colour medium on coloured paper is also introduced. Research and critique of contemporary illustrators and artists will enrich personal expression. * Open to anyone.

GRB301 Graphic Design Studio V 4 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring To prepare for the demands and complexity involved in planning and executing a substantial Major Project, students are briefed on the design requirements of a large complex program. This could be, for example: a zoo; museum; health centre; clothing retail outlets or a boutique hotel catering for a niche market such as kayaking, skiing, natural healing, cordon bleu cooking, etc. Regardless of the organisation, the requirements involved include a range of opportunities to incorporate elective specialisation, for example: print items – logo, stationery, literature; knowledge of promotional advertising campaigns; other media – photography, promotional story board, web site; other items – colour schemes, theme based areas, signage, directional maps, menu covers, post cards, gift packaging, etc. The project also encourages the contribution of individual specialisation. Students research their ‘client’, prepare a design brief and strategy and ultimately a style guide for design applications. A number of selected items are designed with the aim of challenging students first to experiment with both 2D and 3D formats, to be imaginative about refinement for practical application, and to think holistically about the need to consider each design as part of a total program. * Open to graphic design major/minors or those with art or design experience.

GRB326 Designing for Web I 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 1 / spring This unit gives students an introduction to website design and current work practices.

GRB112 Contemporary Issues in Design 4 credits Offered 2012 - semester 2 / fall The content examines in greater detail the evolution of graphic design and typography over the early years of Modernism with the impact of Russian Constructivism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism. The influence of these post WW1 art movements on the practice of Graphic Design and Typography through the innovative teaching philosophy of the Bauhaus and the luminary designers who graduated and taught, provides a strong basis for ongoing discussion and debate. Students, engaging in this discourse, learn to appreciate and understand the distinct intentions of commercially aligned typographers aiming for consistency and legibility in typeface design and typography. Their aim to be clearly informative is contrasted with the work of those strongly influenced by art with the aim of engagement through emotive expression. Topics also examine late Modernism, the Swiss International Style, and the rise of advertising and the promotion of consumer culture. * Open to anyone.

GRB113 Typography II 2 credits Due to scheduling difficulties Typography II is not offered in 2012 The unit concentrates on the detailing of type, text setting and the use of typographic grids to structure graphic layouts incorporating images and establish visual hierarchy. Basic detailing of typesetting detailing includes: type selection for legibility or display; justified/unjustified type; internal rivers and holes; line length and spacing; avoiding widows and orphans; use of kerning; quote indents, soft ragging and flecking. Through investigative research, students gain insights into the work of a contemporary typographer. Understanding of the difference between type in print on paper (reflective light) and on screen (luminescent light) prepares students for effective type applications in a range of sophisticated media. * Design skills and previous experience with design programs, such as Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is required.

GRB115 Image Making II 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 2 / fall The unit introduces the notion of drawing as a way of thinking through the steps of ideation to concept realisation, using progressively developed sketches and comprehensive visuals to the stage of final presentation. Basic skills such as freehand perspective drawing develop a repertoire necessary for sketching ideas. These are practised in short projects involving some form of movement: sketching dancers or musicians from other Schools; developing a visual narrative sequence; morphing one form into another, etc. Students also explore the idea that an object visualised in different ways can dramatically change the communication objective. The unit includes a number of photography workshops offering students a means to control and capture the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;authentic imageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. These ensure that students understand basic digital camera use and can optimise available settings. This leads to understanding of such techniques as digital manipulation, that give students the knowledge and confidence to experiment and produce images suitable for applications in studio subjects. * Open to anyone.

GRB212 Visual Communication and the Designer 4 credits Offered 2012 - semester 2 / fall This unit identifies and examines the major issues of topical currency in design discourse. Lectures introduce communication theory and a number of communication models, including visual narratives, visual rhetoric and the requirement for designers to be able to shift the communication objective from achieving an emotive response to 15

that of informed clarity. The unit focuses on the complexities of our familiar culture and those of different societies with other traditions and customs. Topics include: the evolution and meaning of images and signs in different cultures and the ethical accountability of the designer in the context of ethnic diversity; the relative value of branding as a marketing objective; the rise of subcultures, countercultures and DIY designers. The subject also challenges students to think and question the role and responsibility of the graphic designer in terms of professional norms, principled considerations, sustainable practice, personal integrity, and future goals. * Open to anyone.

GRB213 Advertising Design II 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 2 / fall This unit extends students’ understanding of advertising design and the importance of fact-finding, market research, strategic planning and project management. Students gain insights into the role of the creators of advertising campaigns to choose an appropriate form of rhetoric on which to base a promotion: appealing to emotions; being convinced with information; involving a ‘personality’ for endorsement. Students are expected to investigate and critically analyse the relative effectiveness of these approaches by finding examples across the commercial, government and ‘not for profit’ marketing sectors. With these insights students develop a greater sense of awareness and understanding of the carefully crafted strategies designed to fulfil the needs of a client. * Design skills and previous experience with design programs, such as Indesign, Photoshop and Illustrator is required.

GRB214 Interactive Design 2 credits Offered 2012 - semester 2 / fall This unit outlines the history, associated technologies and the design process of moving image production and related sound.
