Prepare for a tutoring lesson.

Try this with Visual Communication Design

1. Pick one topic and bring a question, an attempted answer or a short section of your notes.
2. Write a goal you can check at the end, such as explaining a method or improving a response.
3. Choose one independent follow-up task to try after working through the example.

Pick a starting point

• Fields of design practice: contexts, practices and processes designers work within
• Conceptions of 'good design': Dieter Rams, Good Design Australia and design competitions
• Designers, specialists and stakeholders: roles, relationships and evaluating ideas
• Influencing factors and the designer's ethical and legal obligations
• Design elements: aesthetic decisions in point, line, shape, form, tone, texture, colour and type
• Design principles: figure-ground, balance, contrast, cropping, hierarchy, scale, proportion, pattern, repetition
