Reviewing Methods and Materials…

Two dimensional design exhibits:

Graphic design.

Students can begin to consider the advantages of using design techniques in order to represent ideas and solutions for graphic design projects.

Describe the guiding design brief or design briefs. Has the design brief been developed in response to a specific local problem? Has the development of the design brief been inspired by a desire to create a special response to new or prevailing graphic design issues that are widespread?

Has the design proposal featured in the exhibition been produced for a graphic design developed for personal use, or domestic use, or industrial environments or mass public use?

Has the exhibitor referred to specific art, design or craft traditions in the response to the design brief?

Describe the size of the graphic design exhibits.

Describe the use of fonts, lines, shapes, colours, textures and materials proposed for the graphic designs.

Outline the methods used to represent the graphic design exhibits. Has the exhibitor used two-dimensional representations based on the use of hand-rendered freehand or technical drawing techniques, or photographic techniques, or computer-aided design software packages and printing techniques? Has the exhibitor produced three-dimensional models in order to produce two-dimensional representations? If so, describe the methods and materials used to produce the three-dimensional models. Note the use of specific modelling or construction methods, and particular materials, such as card, wood, plastics, or modelling compounds.
