Duration: One sesssion
Abstract:
This subject is sequential and augments the framework of the fundamental principles, theories and design developments established in VPA101. The multifaceted processes of the design solution, conceptual development, material applications and technical means are applied to specific design practices. The perceptual dynamics of colour, symbolic language, and visual metaphors encourages the conceptual analyses of design solutions and broadens the designers skills and attitudes in multiple contexts.
