Year Two
The project work at this level encourages you to engage in the integration and presentation of ideas and information using a variety of media. The theory components support you in developing an understanding of the social and political contexts for design and its place within visual culture. Increasingly the project work will reflect your own concerns, personal interests and aspirations within design, allied to the application of these to the needs of end-users.
