Semester 2 saw year 9 and 10 students complete the design subjects Environmental Design and Visual Communication and Design.

The Year 9/10 Environmental design subject introduced students to technical drawing. They experienced practical design drawing skills to complete architectural floorplans, industrial design applications and landscape design plans. These drawing techniques facilitated their understanding of ‘spacial awareness’ whilst using design tools and techniques needed to structure their imagery.

The Year 10 Visual Communication and design subject introduced students to the world of graphic design skills and techniques applicable for advertising and packaging. Cropping, figure-ground and type were a mere selection of the many design elements and principles explored by the students in great depth to aid the development of their creative ideas.
