2 Unit 2 Year, BEC (Board Endorsed Course – non ATAR) 

Essentially Visual Designers learn how to develop and improve the visual appeal to make the world a better place by how it looks, known as Aesthetics. Through attention to detail to all that surrounds us in our material world, Designers solve problems, improve function, influence how we shop, what we wear and even how and where we live. Visual Designers is a portfolio and project-based subject.  Students graduate with an extensive visual record to show to prospective employers or tertiary selection boards. It is designed to equip students desiring entrance into any design related field, or to complement the senior Visual Arts and Photography courses. Students will undertake set design briefs in advertising, commercial, graphics, interior/exterior design areas and product design. Skills in Adobe and other design software are developed and utilised in all aspects of this course. Art styles, contemporary design and market forces will be explored as an academic component. 

Exclusions: Works developed for assessment are not to be used for assessment in any other subject.
