Handbook description
This subject introduces students to emerging areas of innovation and change within local and international contexts. By examining the role of visual communication in strategic design, students familiarise themselves with current theories and practices, in business, social and cultural environments, that are relevant to design. Through primary and secondary research, in groups and individually, students are asked to engage with research and design approaches that include: human-centred design; participatory practices and collaborative design; systems and service design; social action and design for change; action research and critical practice. Project outcomes communicate the results of investigations and experiments using appropriate visual communication design.
