Introduction to Digital Media

In this subject, you will be introduced to basic features of the design toolsets used in digital fabrication. Weekly online content will assist you in developing the underpinning technical skills required to become proficient in 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) modelling.  These skills include:  <ul><li>File management  </li><li>2D sketching  </li><li>3D modelling  </li><li>Sheet metal part construction </li><li>Using assemblies, constraints and joints </li><li>Developing drawings and presentations. For your assessment tasks, you will use these skills to solve a user specific design problem.  </li></ul>To achieve this, you will follow the design thinking process to design a product that effectively meets the end users’ specific requirements, reflecting on how your solution meets their objectives. You will also explain the environmental impact of your design and identify ways in which the lifecycle of the product can be structured in order to meet sustainability objectives. You will then use the presentation facilities within the CAD software program to share your solution.This subject also introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.  You will be introduced to a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice. This will enable you to understand the root cause of design problems and develop solutions through active inquiry. You will also consider a range of principles and perspectives in your design work such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership while operating in real world scenarios. Upon completion of your projects, you will use reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations.

Computer Aided Design (CAD)

Through this subject you will explore and analyse spaces of interaction that operate on different scales and with different sets of relations, for example human and non-human, analogue and digital. Drawing from diverse design methodologies you will learn approaches to design decision making through collaboration, empathy, diverse knowledge and insight.This subject introduces you to the roles of context, experience and feedback in design processes which are inherently fluid and messy. You will learn how to gain contextual understanding of a problem by applying different perspectives and drawing on experiences, histories, narratives, and data - of people, places, objects and systems. You will also develop methods for researching, conceptualising, and developing insights.By doing primary and secondary research on a given topic, you will create the foundation for designing an interface based on analysis, conceptual development and low-fi prototyping. Throughout the design process you will seek and provide feedback by engaging in design critique to evidence design decisions and refine your design.

User Experience (UX) Design

Design thinking draws on creative, iterative and collaborative approaches to problem-solving, including exploration of potential solutions though idea generation, rapid prototyping and testing. While conventional approaches to problem-solving often rely on the application of highly structured methodologies and process controls, design thinking encourages incorporation of diverse perspectives, free association of ideas, subjective perspectives and emotional inputs. Design thinking often generates innovative solutions to problems due to its more open-ended approach.In this subject, you will be introduced to the principles of design thinking through investigation of design thinking theory, as well as specific examples and case studies. You will then apply these principles in a small-scale project that involves problem formulation and application of design thinking to the development of proposed solutions. The subject provides you with opportunities to learn and apply the key concepts, principles and processes of design thinking. As a result, you will explore the theory, as well as use design thinking tools and techniques in practice.

Design Thinking

We know the impact that photographic images can have on us, individually and collectively. When images and words come together to tell a story they can be entertaining, revelatory, breath-taking, and even powerful agents of change. In this subject, you will learn how to create a photo essay, by honing your writing skills and learning how to create, select, and edit photographic and digital images. Putting words and images together, you will identify how to use the photo essay format for professional and creative expression and evaluate how this format and the skills that you have learnt can be applied in the context of Creative Arts and Health.
