Course Description
These design units have been created to cater for artistic and creative students who are looking to achieve an ATAR score and aspire to move into creative university courses and occupations.

The focus for the units is the ‘Design Process’ and will give the students a broad depth of experiences to prepare them for such careers as graphic design, photography, architecture, website design, interior decorating, fashion design, game design, industrial design and promotional design.

Unit 3 – Commercial design
The focus on this particular unit is on designing a commercial product for a ‘real world’ client.

Whilst students will all undertake a similar commercial design process as completed in units 1&2, the actual product to be created in this unit will be driven by your particular interest i.e. you will choose what you are going to design to meet the particular design brief; whether it be fashion, graphic design, interior design, product design, photography etc.

In completing this design process, you will also need to consider commercial and manufacturing requirements for a real world solution, with relevant production skills and processes, materials, and technologies.

Unit 4 – Influential design
The focus of this unit is the communication of ideals, messages, information and values, to influence opinion and attitudes.

Students will be asked to create products and visual layouts for the specific purpose of changing, questioning or influencing the way in which people make decisions and/ or persuading them to change their response to your product. They analyse the audience in terms of empathy, profiling and stereotyping then go on to design and produce products which aim to influence the consumer.
