WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING
Transferring skills into a workplace setting via participation, observation, and reflection, with emphasis on the relationships between academic and professional knowledge
EMERGING DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
Introduction to existing and emerging technology and how it applies to design
TOOLS
ADOBE INDESIGN
Technology Trend Analysis
PROJECT BRIEF
Increasingly, designers need to be familiar with a range of technologies to aid them in their design process, as well as being able to create new products, services and experiences that take advantage of emerging technologies. This project introduced a range of existing and emerging technologies and Augmented Reality (AR) is the selected technology to explore how it is disrupting the design process and outputs of designers in the Interaction Design discipline.

CRAFTING KIT
ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR
Design Fabrication Documentation
PROJECT BRIEF
An authentic project in which will develop and demonstrate essential skills for communicating design ideas and their fabrication. The fabrication of design ideas into tangible outcomes is an effective way of exploring ideas and communicating them to users and other stakeholders. Effective communication is also essential for designs to be accurately reproduced by manufacturers and makers. This entails detailed documentation proposing how the design could be made, what dimensions it will be, critical aesthetic and functional elements, and considerations relevant to the choice of materials and processes.
This project required to create a digital workbook documenting a plan to realise a series of design fabrication challenges. The challenges will be limited to a range of readily available pre-determined materials.
