2. Visual Design is a Board Endorsed non ATAR, 1 unit and 2 unit course.
Visual Design Stage 6 is designed to enable students to gain an increasing
accomplishment and independence in their representation of ideas in different
fields of design and to understand and value how graphic, wearable, product,
and interior/exterior design invite different interpretations and explanations.
Visual Design plays a significant role in our world as mostly everything around
us has been designed by a design artist. Examples: car, clothes and fashion,
jewellery and accessories, bags, magazine layouts, cartoons, and furniture.
The Visual Design course provides a basic introduction to visual design which
also allows students to enhance their study of the Higher School Certificate
courses in Visual Arts and Design and Technology.
