Design Studio: Elements KDA103
Introduction
In this unit you will be introduced to the fundamental elements of design. You will analyse the role of points, lines, planes, surfaces, and solids in design precedents and apply these elements in the creation of your own design artefacts. Through activities, you will learn about proportion, scale, type, and part-to-whole relationships, and develop skills in the critical analysis of objects and images in the world around you. The final output of the unit is a design proposition in response to a brief that includes critical investigation and creative interpretation of a range of design elements.
