CDS2001 Communication design studio 3

Communication design studio 3 will elaborate on the practical and conceptual skills developed in COL1001 or CDS1001 and CDS1002. You will be exposed to a broad range of creative communication processes from print to digital media, and will be able to identify the appropriate context(s) to which they would be applied independently and in conjunction with one another.

You will explore a range of media elements including typography, image, layout, three-dimensional form, sound and motion as core components to their communication design solutions. Studio-based projects across both print and digital media platforms will develop skills in narrative structure, typography, image construction and manipulation, production methods and technologies, and the planning and management of design outcomes.

You will be encouraged to approach all projects with an open attitude to experimentation and critical enquiry. Studies in this unit will help you develop an understanding of the vital space communication designers occupy in developing and contributing to the language of contemporary visual culture, alongside the social responsibilities inherently associated with this.
