define communication need
This needs to be written before you commence the design process and placed at the front of your development folio. UNIT 3: choose something that allows you to make use of paraline and perspective drawing systems and orthogonal drawing conventions. Creating something new, redesigning or promoting an existing threedimensional product are good choices. UNIT 4: Ensure you have a single client and 2 separate and distinctly different needs, different purposes or audiences (if appropriate), different intentions and different presentation formats. Constantly refer back to your BRIEF to make sure you don’t lose focus or direction. Use Visual Communication and Design Study Design language.
Check out the diverse range of Unit 3 topics in the exhibition: toasters, burger packaging, architecture, glasses
Avoid using language from another study. Areas such as Studio Art or Product Design & Technology have a different language code.
