COURSE SYNOPSIS This course is an introduction to photographic design principles, theories and methodologies. Through the completion of three assignments, students will acquire a fundamental understanding of digital photography techniques, such as digital capture, studio lighting, image manipulation and image output. Lectures will introduce students to a broad range of photographic practices, reviewing the innovative work of principally, contemporary photographers. Students will also be required to read and discuss various texts that will be distributed for each project of the course.
AIMS OF THE COURSE This course will allow students to be introduced to the image and image making through an extensive and diverse range of historical and contemporary photographic practices and through their own practice in the three assignments. Students will develop a personal position with respect to their own photographic practice both as an independent medium of expression, as an integral form of communication for designers both through images and with short written project statements. Students will begin to understand the evolving nature of visual culture in our contemporary context of the increasing ubiquity of images.
COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES In addition to the abovementioned learning objectives the learning outcomes for this course have been mapped against the three principal generic VUW Graduate Attributes of Communication, Creative & Critical Thinking, and Leadership as follows:
COMMUNICATION By the end of the course, students will have learned to: Photographing (Technical & Digital) • successfully compose a photograph within the camera frame • be technically proficient with the use of a camera • utilise basic studio lighting equipment • digitally control and enhance the output of photographs • develop strategies to resolve technical issues Verbal Communication • interact with peers in class discussions and group critiques • reinforce verbal presentation skills in review sessions Written Communication • clearly record responses to their own and others’ visual work
CREATIVE & CRITICAL THINKING By the end of the course, students will have learned to: Discipline-Specific Knowledge and Professional Skills • understand how images work in relation to one another • understand the basic language of photography • incorporate an understanding of photography with other design research Research, Analysis & Problem-Solving Abilities • effectively draw inspiration from a range of disciplines • research a brief and research appropriate precedents Innovation, Imagination and Lateral Thinking • creatively apply photographic and digital applications to depict various subjects and themes • experiment with ideas, techniques and genres
2
Critical Judgement and Accountability • place photographic practice in context both historically and culturally • engage intellectually with issues implicit in the medium
LEADERSHIP By the end of the course, students will have learned to: Individual Leadership Skills • investigate, experiment and develop a personal position in relation to photography • be committed to self-direction • have a strong work ethic Collegial / Group Leadership Skills • work effectively and productively in a group • be respectful of fellow group members
COURSE CONTENT The course consists of three projects and two tests. The assessments are structured to provide cumulative learning of photographic skills and knowledge. Each project introduces you to a new set of skills, starting from basic camera control and compositional skills in the first project, progressing onto close up photography with studio lighting in the second, and concluding with advanced Photoshop manipulation in the third. There is a significant focus on the conceptual component within the medium of photography, and you are required to think beyond visual results. Course readings are selected to reinforce the conceptual groundwork for each project, and introduce you to theoretical ideas related to the photographic practice.
COURSE DELIVERY The course consists of one 50min weekly lecture and one three hour weekly studio session. Both include instruction, historical and contemporary photographic works, and technical information. Attendance is mandatory and participation is required. Studio sessions involve technical exercises, one on one discussion with the tutor, and group work. Course material and resources can be accessed on:
www.firstyeardesign.com You need to thoroughly familiarise yourself with this site and check regularly for up to date information. Project briefs, as well as most tutorials are located here.
Flickr Account On the first day of the course you will organize your own individual Flickr accounts to upload your photographs for the projects, so tutors can give you feedback on their work in progress. You need to have a Yahoo email address to access Flickr. When naming your account, please use the last name_first name template. The name of the Flickr group for this course is DSDN144_2010.1, and the main contact for the group is DSDN144_yana. You need to add your tutor as a contact also. It is important to upload ongoing work on time to receive feedback. Refer to the schedule of sessions and hand ins. Visit: www.flickr.com R:drive You will be submitting final work here, as well as on Flickr. Details of submission requirements will be made available in the project briefs. Most of the information in the course website, such as project briefs and tutorials will be available in document form under Course Material. Lecture slides will also be uploaded here.

ASSIGNMENTS / PROJECTS Detailed assignment briefs for this course are in digital format and can be found on the R:drive and accessed through the course website www.firstyeardesign.com Project 1 – Place 25% How does one define a place? A place can be, among other things, real or imagined, private or public, scared or sacrilegious, safe or hazardous. A place can have different meanings to different people. In this assignment, you will choose a location that you want to explore, and use your camera to communicate the narratives, feelings or memories that you find at the location. You will investigate the nature of seeing photographically in order to capture a sense of place, and in the process, acquire an understanding of the fundamental processes of digital photography. Interim presentation of work in progress: Wed, 17th March Hand-in and review: Wed, 24th March Project 2 – Transform 25% A camera has the ability to transform the world. The lens can be used to confuse one’s sense of scale, shape or material. In this assignment you will choose three prosaic objects and though the act of photographing them individually, transform them so that their images no longer relate to their original function. Interim presentation of work in progress: Wed, 21st April Hand-in and review: Wed, 28th April Project 3 – Merge 30% Digital technology has revolutionised photography. It has given us the capability to radically change the way that the world is represented. Pixels can be warped and repositioned to create not only a simulation of a photograph but also an alternative “reality". In this assignment you will create your own alternative realities through the merging of elements to ask “what if?” Your choice of contexts is immense: cultural, social, political, environmental, historical, scientific, literary, etc. Interim presentation of work in progress: Wed, 19th May Hand-in and review: Wed, 2nd June Test 1 - Camera as Tool 10% You will be tested on your technical knowledge of creative camera control. Such topics as exposure, depth of field, camera resolution, compression and use of light will be covered. Multiple choice. Test held on: Wed, 21st April (lecture slot) Test 2 - Digital Darkroom 10% You will be tested on your technical knowledge of digital darkroom. Such topics will be included as digital basics, monitor and print resolution, and tonal control. Multiple choice and written answers Test held on: Wed, 26th May (lecture slot) Workbook For the duration of this course you are expected to keep a workbook in which to document your research, the development of your ideas and experimentation, and the results from class exercises. It should contain evidence of your reviewing of other photographers’, designers’ and artists’ work that you find inspirational; in the form of photocopies, print-outs and written notes documenting your thoughts and impressions. Reflecting upon and documenting the progression of your own work is imperative to your assignments’ marks. Workbooks must be handed in with each project to support your work. In practice, due to workbooks being held for marking, you will have to keep two; one for assignment 1 and 3, and one for assignment 2.

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS The Course is internally assessed by assignment work in the form of three projects and two tests. Assignments are assessed and graded A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, D, E, (where C is a PASS). Grades only are issued to students. The final grade for the course is based on the aggregation of the percentage marks for each of the assignments, and a final grade of C or better is required to pass the course. The three projects and tests contribute towards the final course grade as follows: Project 1 Place: due Wed, 24th March Test 1

Note: Students should familiarise themselves with the University’s requirements, particularly those regarding assessment and course of study requirements, contained in the statutes in the VUW Calendar and read the requirements of this course outline in that context. Assessment Criteria specific to individual projects will be listed in each Project Outline. Overall Assessment Criteria for this course are: • • • • • • •
ability to imaginatively explore photographic vision quality and coherence in your concepts effective and appropriate presentation technique effective technical control evidence of research and successful understanding of visual precedents evidence of documentation of and reflection upon projects’ progress high level of craft and attention to detail
Your work will be reviewed on the basis of the degree to which it meets the assessment criteria described above. This will be both a quantitative and a qualitative assessment. Although visitors will be involved in some of the reviews, only the course coordinator and tutors will conduct the assessment. The course coordinator is finally responsible for the grades issued. The School has a long tradition of providing critical review of student work as it progresses especially in design projects. This is part of feed-back for learning purposes. Such reviews must not be misunderstood as indicators of standards and they are different from assessment. Students have a responsibility to attend critical reviews at the appointed time as part of the learning process. Review panels are often composed of internal and external members for the appointed times and cannot be re-composed to consider late submissions. Consequently late work will not receive a critical review, though it will be assessed subject to any penalties as set out below. •
•
Critical Review: May take place during the development phases of a project as well as at the time of the final submission. Its purpose is to identify strengths and weaknesses in the work and to offer suggestions to generally encourage the student. An encouraging critical review does not necessarily mean a good assessment result. Assessment: May take place at a stage in a project or on final submission (or both). Its purpose is to value the work in terms of the objectives stated in the handout and to express this as a grade. Moderation of all assessment in design is undertaken at the end of the Trimester after critical reviews, involving a wider group of staff than the immediate lecturers in the course. This process ensures fairness.
All grades posted during this course are only provisional results until confirmed by the School Examiners Committee which meets after the examination period.
5
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION Attendance and participation is an important aspect of the learning process, and you are required to attend all the lectures and tutorials. If extraordinary circumstances arise that require you to be absent from some class sessions, you should discuss the situation with the Course Coordinator as soon as possible.
COURSE EXPECTED WORKLOAD You should expect to spend a total of around 150 hours on this course, including both scheduled class time and independent study. Typically this involves around 12-14 hours per week during the twelve teaching weeks, with the balance during the mid trimester break, study week and examination period. http://www.victoria.ac.nz/home/about_victoria/avcacademic/publications/assessmenthandbook.pdf
READINGS AND REFERENCE MATERIAL Please refer to the list enclosed at the end of this document.
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Students will need to provide all materials and equipment as necessary for the completion of required photographic work. Computer facilities are available at the School. Digital cameras are also available at the school for borrowing. Here again, if you would like to buy your own camera please see your tutor with regards to requirements and the Student Administration Office for advice on financing. Note: The Student Loan, administered by StudyLink, allows students to claim up to $1000 for course related costs for each year of study.
RECORDING OF WORK AND PORTFOLIO You are strongly encouraged to respect and care for your work, making and recording a visual summary of each project in this course. This may be in digital and/or hard copy. The principal purpose of this is to maintain a record of your work for incorporation into your own personal ‘Design Portfolio’. Recording a summary of your work also means it is available if needed for you or the School to exhibit or publish.
SUBMISSION OF WORK Each student is responsible for ensuring their work is submitted to their course tutor on time and in the required format. Any project not submitted in the specified manner will be treated as a nosubmission. Late submissions will be penalised as set out below, unless an extension is approved by the Course Coordinator.
EXTENSIONS In the event of illness or other extraordinary circumstances that prevent you from submitting a piece of work on time, or that you feel adversely affect the quality of the work you submit, it is important that you discuss your circumstances with the Course Coordinator as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements may be made. You should complete an Application for Extension form
6
(available from the Faculty Office) for the Course Coordinator to approve. You will also need to provide suitable evidence of your illness or other circumstances. In an emergency, or if you are unable to contact the Course Coordinator, you should advise the Faculty Office of your situation. Work submitted late must be submitted to the Course Coordinator.
PENALTIES •
Students are required to personally present their work on time at all scheduled reviews and in the location and specified format as set out in assignment outlines. Failure to personally present work at any scheduled graded review will result in an automatic failing grade of E for the work being reviewed, unless an extension has been approved in writing in advance by the Course Coordinator.
•
Late submissions will not be penalised in the event of illness or other extraordinary circumstances provided students have requested an extension of time in writing in advance of the scheduled review, and the Course Coordinator has similarly approved this in writing (see the Student Administration Office for an Application for Extension form). Work submitted late without the prior agreement of the Course Coordinator will be penalised by one grade step by calendar day including weekends (i.e. an A will become A-).
•
Work submitted late must be submitted directly to the Course Coordinator. Any project work left on the project shelves or elsewhere will be entered on the grade sheet as a no-submission.
MANDATORY COURSE REQUIREMENTS In addition to achieving an average of at least ‘C’ across all assessments, in order to pass the course you must also satisfy the following mandatory course requirements: • Discuss your project progress with your tutor or the Course Coordinator at least weekly [requires records to be kept] • Submit all three projects to pass the course • Attend at least 80% of the studio sessions (an official attendance record will be kept) • Attend and present your project work at all scheduled critical reviews
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES The Faculty of Architecture and Design operates a system of Class Representatives in 100-level courses, and Year Representatives in each of the professional disciplines. Student Representatives are elected during a class session in the first week of teaching. All student representatives will be listed on the STUDiO notice board in the Atrium, and the relevant Representatives are also listed on studio notice boards. Student Representatives have a role in liaising between staff and students to represent the interests of students to the lecturers, and also in providing students with a communication channel to STUDiO and VUWSA.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PLAGIARISM Academic integrity means that University staff and students, in their teaching and learning are expected to treat others honestly, fairly and with respect at all times. It is not acceptable to mistreat academic, intellectual or creative work that has been done by other people by representing it as your own original work. Academic integrity is important because it is the core value in which the University’’s learning, teaching and research activities are based. Victoria University’s reputation for academic integrity adds value to your qualification.
7
The University defines plagiarism as presenting someone else’s work as if it were your own, whether you mean to or not. ‘Someone else’s work’ means anything that is not your own idea. Even if it is presented in your own style, you must acknowledge your sources fully and appropriately. This includes: • • • • • •
Material from books, journals or any other printed source The work of other students or students or staff Information from the internet Software programs and other electronic material Designs and ideas The organisation or structuring of any such material
Find out more about plagiarism, how to avoid it and penalties, on the University’s website: www.victoria.ac.nz/home/studying/plagiarism.html
USE OF TURNITIN Student work provided for assessment in this course may be checked for academic integrity by the electronic search engine http://www.turnitin.com. Turnitin is an online plagiarism prevention tool which compares submitted work with a very large database of existing material. At the discretion of the Head of School, handwritten work may be copy-typed by the School and subject to checking by Turnitin. Turnitin will retain a copy of submitted material on behalf of the University for detection of future plagiarism, but access to the full text of submissions is not made available to any other party.
COMMUNICATION OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The course is set up on blackboard. Any changes or additions to this Course Outline will be discussed and agreed with the class, and conveyed through blackboard to all students enrolled in the course.
