Course Description

This course covers Digital Information and Media. We use a range of software applications (i.e. Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) to create original content. Specifically in this course you will make a brochure, website, and infographic. We will focus on ensuring that our outcomes are easy to use and contain original graphics. 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.
METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
Assessment will include managing data (infographic), creating a digital media outcome (brochure), prototyping (website) and usability (Human Computer Interaction External). Achievement Standard 9188 is externally assessed.
