B.A. (Hons) Visual Communication
Module: Investigation and Practice 2 Module Code: VC202-861-05 (20 credits) Lecturer: Katherine Szeto + Marta Kusztra
Assignment 2: Brief:
Date: 12/02/2007
China and the Rest of the World, Part 2 In this assignment, you are expected to take a critical look at your project “China and the Rest of the World, Part 1” and find a way to develop your concept into a final outcome that displays a high standard of finish. Your work may take any form you like, but it may not repeat the design solution applied in the previous assignment. For instance, if your last design consisted of printed-matter, then this design must be presented in a different medium. For instance, you might put it into the context of space or reduce it to a series of pictograms, etc... In terms of design objectives, your project may be a direct continuation of your concept from the last assignment, but you may also choose to re-evaluate and modify your ideas. You should focus on both content and form development. You are expected to experiment. Accordingly, your research should focus on contemporary design techniques and media.
