2.36 Use visual communication techniques to compose a presentation of a design AS credits Internal the application of compositional principles, modes and media to present visual information proximity, alignment, hierarchy and the use of positive/negative space, repetition, contrast, focal point

Research range of graphic design presentations and evaluate the design features in terms of their visual communication techniques and principles of composition

Initial ideas Decide what drawings to present Record some different layout ideas for presenting -thumbnail sketches (These can be from any source - research material, other ideas seen own creative ideas)

Developing design ideas Choose best idea state why can the idea be developed further Develop and refine further in a convincing and effective way, using visual communication techniques. Annotate decisions made and record design thinking

Presentation

Presentation sheets Ensure images (e.g. sketches, instrumental drawings, photographs) are presented accurately, clearly, and precisely Ensure presentation sheets use visual communication techniques that show a convincing high-quality presentation, with, accurate layout, visual impact and precise execution of techniques to effectively promote a design to the intended audience Include evidence of compositional techniques

2.36 Draft Assessment AchievedUse visual communication techniques to compose a presentation of a design involves: using presentation techniques and the application of compositional principles, modes and media to promote the design. MeritUse visual communication techniques to compose a skilful presentation of a design.involves: integrating presentation techniques and the application of compositional principles, modes and media in the composition of a cohesive presentation ExcellenceUse visual communication techniques to compose an effective presentation of a design involves: composing a presentation that captures and promotes the essence of the design in a convincing manner

“Cheat Sheets”

2.33 Use the characteristics of a design movement or era to inform own design ideas AS credits Internal

Explore the characteristics of the movement/era the historical/cultural context and the designers and architects who influenced it. Design movements include but not limited to; Modernism, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Deconstructivism, New Look Design eras include but not limited to; Aztec, pre-European Māori, Shogun, Renaissance, Victorian, 1920s, 1960s.

Timeline

Draft Assessment Achieved describing how the design elements characterise a design movement or era describing social factors that influenced the design movement or era generating design ideas that incorporate the identified characteristics of a design movement or era. Merit Clearly means: explaining how the design elements characterise a design movement or era genergenerating design ideas where it is evident that the identified characteristics of the design movement or era have been linked to the design ideas in a considered manner Excellenceeffectively involves: generating design ideas where it is evident that the identified characteristics of the design movement or era have been interpreted and embedded into the design ideas.

2.31 Produce working drawings to communicate technical details of a design AS credits External

2.31 As the standard relates to Orthographic drawings they are 2D elevations of the object, this can be any of the elevations including auxiliary views. “With a set of drawings- if a student shows drawings on different pages do they do not need to show projection lines between the pages?” “There will be links with the object being drawn is the same object, but even scale could be different”.

Technical details refers to the information related to the design. They describe the functional and aesthetic qualities of the design Working drawings are a set of related 2D (orthographic) drawings which may include but are not limited to: components, assembly, sectional view/auxiliary view/true shape/surface development, construction details

Draft Assessment schedule 2.31 Achievedproducing a set of related scaled drawings, using conventions, showing complex visual information Merit clearly communicate producing an accurate set of related scaled drawings, using conventions, that communicate details of a design Excellence effectively communicate producing a coherent set of related scaled drawings, using conventions, that communicate details of a design

2.32 Produce instrumental perspective projection drawings to communicate design ideas As credits External

Conventions of instrumental perspective projection drawings include use of picture plane, station point, eye level lines, ground level lines, vanishing points and height lines. Detail of design features may include but is not limited to the features of such things as windows, door handles, fasteners, reliefs, fittings

Angular Perspective

Draft Assessment schedule 2.32 Achievedusing perspective drawing techniques to show design features applying appropriate conventions Merit Clearly communicate accurately using perspective drawing techniques to show the detail of the design features Excellence Effectively communicate selecting a view point that enables the detail of the design features to be shown selecting and accurately using perspective drawing techniques to show the detail of the design features

Accessing other AS’s for assessment

2.1 Undertake brief development to address an issue Take the previous slides and turn them into student questions in order to help them develop their own brief from a teacher given issue: e.g. ergonomic kitchen utensils - product design 4 credits, internal

Ideas from other Products It is also very interesting to look at products that are used for completely different purposes but still have design ideas that could be used. i.e. A kitchen cutlery tray used for storing pencils. Collect pictures of existing/similar products.. You must write information about each picture. You must justify why you have included the picture. Try asking the following questions:- What do you like about the object's colour, size and shape? What materials are being used and what is the surface texture? How does the object work, is it safe and does it do the job well? Does it look like it is well made and fit for the intended purpose? Could you improve its design and the way it operates? Would your intended users buy this object?

2.10 Demonstrate understanding of sustainability in design Generic Technology 4 credits External Sustainability refers to a technology that meets the needs of today without compromising existing or future resource availability through the use of innovation

Innovations may include but are not limited to: novel use of an existing technology, technique or process and/or an original idea that shifts thinking and understanding, and/or results in an innovative outcome. Innovation often allows issues identified from lifecycle analysis to be addressed. Lifecycle considerations when designing a technology may include but are not limited to: material selection, energy consumption, waste, social and environmental factors including judgments about the quality of the design of the technology.

Achieved understanding explaining how lifecycle considerations determine the focus for design interventions explaining the relationship between lifecycle design, innovation and sustainability Merit In-depth understanding explaining how lifecycle analysis is undertaken and how this determines the focus for design intervention explaining how issues identified by lifecycle analysis led to design innovation being applied in a sustainable technology Excellence Comprehensive understanding discussing the relationship between lifecycle analysis, design innovation and a sustainable technology discussing the competing priorities and compromises made as a result of lifecycle analysis when developing a sustainable technology

2.11 Demonstrate understanding of advanced concepts related to human factors in design Generic Technology 3 credits Internal

Human factors include ergonomic and aesthetic factors that influence the design of products, systems and environments. These factors may include but are not limited to the use of anthropometric, psychological and sensory data gathering and analysis techniques. An understanding of spatial relationships between people, objects and their environments is important when considering human factors in design

Customisation techniques used to address personal preference and obtain ergonomic fit may include but are not limited to: using dressmakers mannequins, patterns, ergonomes using data from anthropometric, psychological and sensory data, focus groups and test subjects using investigation and stimuli to establish personal preferences using functional modelling and prototypes

2.11 Draft Assessment Achieved explaining how statistics and probability are used to establish guiding ratios for anthropometric data and ergonomic aids explaining how customisation allows for personal preference and enables ergonomic fit Merit explaining how anthropometric data is gathered and ergonomic aids are used when designing a product, system or environment explaining how customisation is undertaken to address personal preference and enable the ergonomic fit of a product, system or environment Excellence discussing the relationship between anthropometric data, personal preference and ergonomic fit in a product, system or environment discussing the customisation undertaken to address personal preference and obtain ergonomic fit in a product, system or environment
