This subject introduces students to the principles of creative information design—audience analysis, contextual writing, colour, typography, and layout. Students design, create the content and produce, for selected clients, useful information products in a range of digital and non-digital formats and media. The design process introduces students in creative problem-solving, collaborative work practices and the principles of usability and self-assessment. Students begin the development of their course-wide portfolio which contains examples of work which may include specialised written texts, brochures, images and webpages.
