THE PADLET: What is Design?
Unit 1 & 2 Overview
‘Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated.’ Paul Rand

Unit 1 –Representational design
This unit introduces students to the discipline of design. They begin to experiment with various techniques for representation, such as sketching, drawing, photographing and prototyping, to communicate design ideas and Design Thinking. Students develop an understanding of key design terminology to support their observation and analysis of different design forms. They begin to understand how representation can be used to communicate meaning through semiotics. Students apply relevant and appropriate skills and techniques while following the Double Diamond design process model to create possible design outcome
Unit 2 –User-centred design
In this unit, students work through phases of the Double Diamond model to design products, devices, objects or services for an end-user. They will prototype and modify designs to test the impact on audiences and address practical outcomes for users. Students will determine and define the function, form and features of their design in order to effectively communicate how their proposal meets the needs of the design brief.
