Year 11 Design and Visual Communication

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Blades.

Design and Visual Communication involves design thinking, visual communication, and design heritage. It covers ideation, development, and communication of purposeful design ideas. This includes product and spatial design.

Product design creates functional items for daily life. Spatial design involves shaping three-dimensional spaces for human use, drawing from architecture, interior design, and more.

Visual communication ensures the effective presentation of design concepts. Design heritage encompasses design history, culture, and awareness, considering ethical and cultural aspects.

Designers adapt ideas to people's needs while being mindful of impacts. Learning Design and Visual Communication develops skills to express ideas, encouraging experimentation and improvement for meaningful and future-oriented design. This cultivates confidence, resilience, and ethical responsibility in design.
