Description Design visualisation in the form of 2D and 3D graphics is fundamental to the overall design process. This unit provides students with essential knowledge of design principles as used in visual communication. Students will employ graphic techniques to effectively convey a design proposal using creativity, technical skill, and quality design principles in a manner that is consistent with industry expectations. Students will produce graphic work that is portfolio-ready and suitable to display to potential clients and employers.
