In S4 Graphic Communication we cover the following topics:
3D CAD Modelling, Drawing and Illustration.
Construction Drawings.
Desktop Publishing and Planning.
Sketching.
Using 3D CAD modelling software (Autodesk Inventor) pupils create a range of 3D models of everyday products. Pupils are also required to produce detailed technical drawings within this software and realistic illustrated images to showcase the product.
Pupils learn about the role of software in the development of building and construction drawings. They are given the opportunity to learn about the different types of construction drawing required in industry in order to successfully complete our built environment.Â
Using graphic design software, pupils will plan and create detailed and interesting promotional graphics. These range from info graphics, to digital and printed displays. Careful consideration is given to colour theory and a range of design elements and principles.
Pupils will develop a range of 2D and 3D sketching skills as part of this course. Sketches may display every day products, environments, colour/materials and technical details.
