Design and Visual Communication

Design & Visual Communication (DVC) 

In DVC you will learn to:

  • Explore creativity in the broadest sense. Pushing the limits of what is possible in both product and spatial design (architecture).
  • Visually communicate your design ideas. We learn drawing techniques such as paraline, perspective, exploded view, section views, and rendering. We also learn digital modelling programs like SketchUp, Blender and OnShape. Our visual communocation skills also include physical modelling and designing presentations to showcase our work.
  • Present our design processes and outcome with clarity and pride. Communicating how our ideas have developed.
