About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102261 - Graphic Design: Understanding the Principles. This is a practical, hands-on unit that introduces fundamental design principles, with a focus on typography and its key role in graphic design. Through linking theory with practice, students will build their core design skills by developing visual communication outcomes for specific purposes and contexts. Students will also gain understanding of graphic design as a dynamic practice that responds to a broad range of communication needs.
