The aim of Graphic Design is to equip students with the necessary analytical,
creative and hand skills that will enable them to produce innovative
and effective visual communications for an identified audience, in a
wide variety of contexts including advertising, graphic design, multimedia
and publishing, and, to a lesser extent, in the film, theatre, music,
video and television industries. There are no formal prerequisite or
corequisite subjects, but students often take elective units in Drawing,
Printmaking, Video, Painting or Photography, and it is expected that
students will undertake elective units in computing. Assessment of Graphic
Design 1, 2, 2A, 3 and 3A will be as follows: meeting deadlines for
a number of multi-week projects throughout the year; end-of- year submission
of and source book/journal.
