DESIGN STUDIO I PROJECTS

FOCUS: Magazine layout design

In studio one, students create a 40 page magazine based on a subject matter of their choice. They must design a cohesive brand identity through the creation of a style guide and magazine masthead.

Disclaimer:

• Imagery and articles are sourced online as a means to allow students to focus on layout and design.

DESIGN STUDIO II

Second year, Trimester 4

Promotional visual campaign design

In studio two, students must create a visual campaign, focusing on image making techniques.

This trimester, students were given the brief to 'promote Australia'. Students explored a range of image making techniques, from analogue mark making to digital mediums.

Working alongside Yagan Square as a real world client, students must create a short motion graphic piece to screen on the Yagan tower, as well as additional collateral to extend their campaign into the physical space.

DESIGN STUDIO III

Second year, Trimester 5

Branding and promotional design

In studio three, students have to re-brand an existing product of their choice. They must research the brand, identify the target audience, message, and trends, identify weaknesses and develop new design solutions to improving the product visibility.

Students explore advertising and promotional strategies, and implement an array of image making techniques and copy writing in order to design a cohesive and updated identity for their product.
