A full paragraph for each of the five design examples you have selected. This is the FORMAL analysis, where you need to describe the designs in terms of the design elements and principles, materials used, methods of production etc. Several paragraphs discussing the historical CONTEXT for each design – write about the time and place where it was designed/produced. Consider the following questions: What was happening in society at the time this was designed? How has the historical context influenced the design? How have developments in technology influenced changes in the design? How has advancement of materials influenced changes in the design? Has popular culture played a role in this design? If so, how? How has the place (city or country) where this was designed influenced the appearance of the design? A thorough comparison of Shepard Fairey's contemporary designs with the designs from the past. How has he been influenced by other designers? In what ways do his designs raise issues of intellectual copyright? CONCLUSION Recap your main points. A closing sentence summing up the changes in poster design, and stating how designs of the past can influence contemporary designers. BIBLIOGRAPHY Acknowledge all sources: books, internet sites, magazines, journals etc. used for research, as well as any images, timelines etc. you downloaded from the web. Unit 2: Applications of Visual Communication Design Outcome 1 Technical drawing in context – Folio of set technical drawings for a specific purpose/brief. There will be two design briefs for this Outcome. Both ask you to apply manual technical drawing skills for a specific design field. Final drawings should be presented as fully rendered, with specifications meeting standards (refer to attached handbook on technical drawing specifications). You may “value add” to your final drawings by either re-creating them in Illustrator, or scanning them into Photoshop or Illustrator and enhancing them digitally. It is your manual drawing skills that will be assessed, as well as all thumbnail sketches, idea development, mock up drawings, as well as your final drawings. Design Brief 1: Environmental Design - Architecture You are to design a façade (shop front) for a coffee shop/café. Try to make your building design interesting! The shop front should include all signage and any window imagery. The façade should be presented as a two point perspective
