Course Description

This course builds on DTI101 and focusses on Digital Information and Media. We will use a range of software applications (i.e. Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) to create original content. Specifically in this course we will plan and create a detailed infographic. We will also create two different websites. Our focus on ensuring that our outcomes are easy to use and contain original artwork. Good design habits play an important part in what we do and you will learn how to create print and online media that could be used in the real world.

In the external we will explore the relationship between technological outcomes and sustainability.
