L3 Design and Visual Communication - Full Year

A design brief approach where learners are encouraged to focus on topics of interest.

Course Overview

A design brief approach is used and students are encouraged to focus on topics which they are interested in.  The course allows students the scope and the freedom to explore individual solutions to design problems.  The course is designed round a modular structure so that students are able to work to their strengths. 

To this end, students have the flexibility to design their course around the Assessment Standards below, to target a minimum of 16 credits. In this way the course is focused more on the student’s strengths or interest.

 

Specific Aims:
