Portfolio | 100 | 1~2~3~4~5 | Week 15 | , WORDS= See description | In Design Major Project Part 1, you will: identify and contextualise a subject for investigation through design research; plan and conduct this research; analyse and reflect on findings; and utilise the knowledge you have gained through research to inform the direction and nature of proposed design concepts. You will submit a portfolio of work which represents this design research and practice process throughout all these stages, formatted and delivered appropriately according to the nature of your project. As a guide we expect there to be written or verbal context equivalent to around 6000 words (complying with appropriately rigorous academic standards), plus a substantial amount of supporting material generated through the design research and development process. This supporting material should be organised, structured and presented in order to effectively communicate the story of your project and proposed direction for future project development in Design Major Project Part 2. |
