Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms A. Blackwell.

Level 2 Design introduces students to a new field in Art which focuses on the development of creative outcomes and ideas using the design process. The course seeks to develop the student’s understanding of methods, ideas, and conventions specific to Design, including the use of computer programs Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create final design outcomes. 

Students will learn how to generate and develop independent creativity, building lateral and in-depth thinking skills, which are transferable to other disciplines across the arts and other subject disciplines. Students will learn how to develop company branding and identity, making interactive design such as posters, interactive billboards and some (through choice) can create promotional moving image sequence using Adobe video editing software such as Premier Pro, After Effects and Photoshop.

Students work on their external folio work throughout the year.
