Participation requirements
Regular class (lectures, studios, tutorials, workshops, seminars, etc.) participation is extremely important to do well in this unit. It is possible many crucial elements of large assessments are completed in class and not participating in them might result in unnecessary hardship. In short, all assessments are intrinsically connected with class activities.
Required IT skills
Students attempting this unit should have advanced knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite and office application. Without this knowledge, you may have to put in more effort to complete the projects. It is expected that, as a design student, you carry a sketch book and markers/pencils for all tutorial activities.
