FASHION DESIGN Fashion graduands celebrated the culmination of four years of fashion design studies with collections showing immense dedication and excitement for their discipline (viewed at http://www.inno-vision.co.nz). Fashion design outcomes varied from exploratory exhibition pieces to commercial collections designed for a range of markets within the fashion industry. Our students exceeded expectations in producing highly innovative designs derived from research, creative design processes and technical expertise. A number of students gained success in national competitions and Massey University fashion awards: Claire Hacon: Unity Collection Award for Commercial Design; Sol Ahn: Purfex Award for Design; Kiri Kippenberger Pettersen: Gen I Award for Innovation and Creativity; Shelly Doms: Rembrandt Award for Excellence; Emma Little: John Rainger Vilene Award; Kate Harris: Creative HQ Award for Business. We congratulate all fashion graduands of 2007 and thank them for contributing to the continuing success of our programme. Deb Cumming Programme Leader Fashion Design

TEXTILE DESIGN Textile design is concerned with understanding and creating one of the most intimate and yet public aspects of the material world. In our unique programme we encourage exploration in design and colour, development of technical knowledge, and digital media skills for translating textile concepts into marketable products. The 2007 Textile Design graduate work reflects the students’ sustained commitment to engage in critical debates to focus and contextualise their designs. Along with their broad skills base and a thorough understanding of the structure and surface aspects of textile design, our students are well prepared for successful careers within the international arena of textiles. The students have produced innovative, contemporary applications and will contribute to various creative, commercial, cultural and heritage organisations. Some of the students have already achieved recognition and outstanding success in competitions such as the Home Magazine New Zealand Young Designer of the Year, World of Wearable Arts and the Hokonui Fashion Awards. We wish this group of students well and commend them on the quality of their achievements. Sandra Heffernan Subject Leader Textile Design

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Design is about creating pleasurable, desirable and meaningful experiences for people. The contribution of industrial design is multi-facetted. The economic and societal value of being able to offer the market products that meet utilitarian as well as emotional needs cannot be underestimated. This needs to be done with care, respect and consideration to others, to our planet, and to our future. Our graduates increasingly show that they are thoroughly prepared for successful careers as industrial designers. The fantastic turnout at the BeST awards 2007 – eight of the 12 student finalists were from Massey, seven of those Wellington graduates, was excellent proof of their abilities. Projects by our students show a profound level of innovativeness and original thought grounded in solid research. They reflect their ability to understand and inquire into novel contexts of use and to transform ideas into relevant, innovative and exciting products. Students’ work also exhibits a high level of awareness and sensibility to aesthetics, meaning and value for the intended user and market. We congratulate our industrial design graduates for their outstanding achievements as they enter the world with the privilege and responsibility of shaping our futures in the most influential of ways: by creating products that surprise, delight and enhance our everyday experiences.

SPATIAL DESIGN The Spatial Design programme explores the corporeal and theoretical conditions of architectural and virtual environments and performance events. Spatial Design is the practice of imagining, forming and constructing spatial environments. Such practice requires that we cross disciplinary boundaries, moving between architecture, performance, digital or virtual space, exhibition design, textile, furniture and fashion design. Our position within Massey University’s College of Creative Arts facilitates this cross-disciplinary practice. Spatial design offers an expansive territory for practice and research. Our undergraduate and postgraduate students continue to extend this territory through their critical and speculative work. Our 2007 Spatial Design graduates have shown a commitment to, and passion for, spatial design during their time with us. We wish them all the very best in their future. They leave Massey with the skills to enable them to make valuable contributions in their chosen careers. Amanda Yates Subject Leader Spatial Design

PERFORMANCE DESIGN This year we are very pleased to graduate the second cohort of students in this exciting new program. Run jointly between Toi Whakaari (NZ Drama School) and Massey University, the degree offers a unique education in a developing field of the live arts. It is a discipline that addresses the many situations of performance, across spatio-temporal practices in theatre, film, dance, opera, music, exhibition, fashion, and events. It considers the active role that design can play in manipulating space, object, movement, body, and light to become a performer with languages and narratives of its own. Our students learn the principles of designing for the stage, whilst also learning methods, theory, and creative processes whereby they can become more than designers for performance, but also designers of performance. 2007 was an important year for these students, who attended the Prague Quadrennial in June: they gained great international interest and profile for the work they exhibited there. Our congratulations to them all for their fantastic achievements over the past four years, and best wishes for the future. Sam Trubridge Programme Co-ordinator, Performance Design

ADVERTISING DESIGN As advertising permeates every level of our society, the responsibility our graduates face is significant. While still encouraging our students to be innovative and insightful, they still need to be alert to the powerful affect their work can have on societal stereotypes. The advertising programme has been very successful in the training of advertising leaders in all areas of creativity, as well art directors, copywriters, and account service over the past 17 years. Our graduates have achieved notable successes in the industry both nationally & internationally. The programme maintains a strong link with industry. Our enviable reputation of pushing the envelope in the practice of both strategic & creative thinking is paramount to the programmes success. In regard to the 2007 graduates, they have clearly demonstrated their passion and professionalism for their respective crafts. It is with confidence that I farewell these graduates into their respective industries. I wish you all long and illustrious careers and look forward to learning of your future accomplishments.

DIGITAL MEDIA Once again the variety of research undertaken by students this year is impressive. We are still experiencing a shift in interest back towards the interactive areas like web development and DVD interfaces. For the last few years the success of the Lord of the Rings films and a lacklustre broadband environment has seduced graduates into the film industry. Over the last year the Web 2.0 wave has started to hit New Zealand and students are much more aware of the amazing potential of the Web to reach huge audiences and facilitate social change. Good luck to all this years graduates. Everybody in the Digital Media team looks forward to seeing your digital creations spread via the ‘series of tubes’. Mark Zeman Lecturer Digital Media

GRAPHIC DESIGN Today’s knowledge economy presents both enormous challenges and opportunities for graphic design graduates transcendent of any geographical context, isolated discipline, or optimised concept. Beyond traditional skills and vocational knowledge, graduates of the graphic design programme have been encouraged to cultivate a “creative leadership” in their search for the ‘new’ by considering conceptual approaches that blend broader understandings with specific design knowledge. Ultimately they can articulate their ideas in compelling ways enriched by the diverse experiences and perspectives gained through the course. For this reason our graduates are capable of applying their creativity and communication skills to a broad range of industries, businesses and professions outside of, and in addition to, the traditional role of a graphic designer. They have the capacity to shape the future of their industry by addressing innovations in technology and wider social changes in society. We look forward to following the achievements of this year’s graduates and the impact that they have within the evolving field of graphic design as they extend beyond existing disciplinary boundaries, challenge entrenched thinking, and continue to question what it is to be a ‘Graphic Designer’.

ILLUSTRATION DESIGN Illustrations are like words—visual words. They are pictorial translations of thought. Whether created out of ink, paint, pencil or pixels, they too make us think, perhaps in a more immediate way than the written word. This year’s illustration specialists present a diverse body of highly engaging work. Whether it be to communicate through visual narrative the personal experience of a Khmer Rouge survivor or explore creative options to assist children with dyslexia, this year’s graduates demonstrate why illustration is such a powerful communication medium. As design education in the 21st century becomes less about the production of material artefacts and more about reflecting the society we live in, the focus is on how our ‘thinking designers’ shape experiences. To that end, our illustration graduates have developed highly sophisticated design strategies to engage society with their messages. Mike McAuley Illustration Lecturer

PHOTOGRAPHIC DESIGN As a critical medium of art and design, photography continues to evolve. Our graduates are exposed to rapidly developing technologies as well as the shift in the way photography is applied and interpreted. The 2007 photography graduates are not only well equipped to handle these changes, but they are themselves extending the boundaries of photographic practice. Photography students regularly gain awards in professional competitions as well as contributing to significant exhibitions and publications. Much of this work surprises the viewer with its innovation and freshness. Graduates have also been involved with a number of major public exhibitions of their final year projects and each year these become increasingly substantial and ambitious. This year also saw a collaboration with the final year students from Deakin University Australia. Graduates will head into the array of exciting careers connected to the medium and we look forward to hearing of their success. Others will undertake further study through our growing postgraduate programme and extend their undergraduate foundation into the arena of visual research. Wayne Barrar Director of Photography

FINE ARTS Congratulations to all students on the completion of the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Over the last four years students graduating from the Bachelor of Fine Arts programme at Massey University have developed exciting and challenging art practices enriching their conceptual and theoretical interests through an assortment of fine arts media and technology. Our degree offers an innovative programme that emphasises diversity and flexibility in the way students move through and between specific fine art disciplines. 2007 has been a lively and full year with many students taking the opportunity to participate in exhibitions both on and off campus, most notably ‘Exposure’, our end of year exhibition. Student’s artwork has been curated for exhibitions at Wellingtons Michael Hirchfield gallery, the artist run space Enjoy, and the Film archive, along with exhibitions entirely organised by students in assorted venues around Wellington. Students also participated in an exchange exhibition with students from the School of Fine Arts at The University of South Australia. This group of artists have benefited from a critical, supportive and collaborative culture that they have both created and participated in. This critical model will hold them in good stead as they go on to a variety of active roles in the cultural fabric of New Zealand and the world beyond. 123

CLAIRE ZANELLI IL Salotto – image from installation Il Salotto (the “living” room) deals with the ideas of family history and how we manifest our autobiographical memories. Like death, memory is a reality that once was, that can fade and distort with time. We feel a fragmented familiarity through the politeness of the camera lens. clairezanelli@gmail.com 027 306 3378

TRACEY BLAIR MDES Successful social skills: designing a way of learning non-verbal communication skills through a structured interactive computer prototype. The prototype identifies, and responds to, the particular challenges of teaching social skills to children with the Autistic characteristics which are specifically related to Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). This prototype has been designed with consideration for the unique cognitive attributes and sensory issues that AS individuals encounter.
JAMES HARVEY MDES Telling the market story through organic information and interaction design and IP broadcast media. Viewer understanding of financial information can be improved by design that uses gestural interaction interface display technology.

STEPHEN ROWE MFA Untitled (Green) 2007 The flaneur identified by Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin was a privilege of class and was, at first, a wholly male preserve. To wander with a dispassionate eye, to find pleasure in looking and moving slowly over a scene was only for those whom could afford this luxury. As the visual became democratised with the shift to a consumer economy (as opposed to a producer one) the spectacle rose to meet everyone as a flaneur, everyone now could have greedy eyes. However to see everything is to see nothing, to see all of the wood is to see none of the trees. The familiar is invisible. A global homogeneity exists where shape, colour and symbol become a universal language. This is a logical evolution of a corporate expediency of economy of language and message. Recuperated culture folds in on itself in an endless loop. Written and re-written, words ultimately disappear altogether. The scene constantly seen can never be seen again. The distillation of the consumer spectacle brings us to the noise of today’s visual environment where the sheer ubiquity of branding renders it invisible. The coolness of presentation and efficiency of its implementation invokes a different flaneur – one for whom a level of disinterest is as much a defence as it is a pleasure.
