Design and Visual Communication

Prerequisite: A successful Year 9 or year 10 DVC, or at the discretion of TIC/HOD

Dive into hands-on design with a focus on two major projects that emphasize both product and spatial design. Inspired by historical context, pūrākau, and influential designers and architects, students will engage in a practical assignment where they are 'hired' by Tauranga City Council. The task involves creating a seat and an information building for the Wairoa River Reserve. Throughout the course, students will enhance their skills in sketching, drawing, digital design, and model-making to effectively communicate their solutions. Additionally, students will develop proficiency in presenting their design concepts to clients, bridging creativity with practical application.
