10 Design & Visual Communication
10DVC Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Lyndon Sheehan.
PrerequisitesOpen Entry
DESIGN & VISUAL COMMUNICATION (GRAPHICS)
The duration of this course is one semester and focuses on understanding and applying drawing techniques used for design. We use the design process, CAD (Computer Aided Design) modelling, 3D printing, freehand drawing and technical drawing techniques to visually communicate design ideas and potential outcomes for design briefs.
Course Overview
