Design & Visual Communication DVC  Whakanikoniko

Design and Visual Communication courses teach students the visual and design thinking skills used in fields of design such as Architecture, Engineering, Industrial Design and Spatial Design.

DVC courses have two main areas of learning:
DESIGN: We aim to develop students’ ability to be innovative by developing creativity and critical thinking. Students work on design projects based in fields such as Architecture, Product Design and Graphic Design.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION: students learn to use a range of visual techniques to develop design ideas. These include sketching, instrumental drawing, CAD, modelling and computer graphics applications. Students learn how to visually communicate the details of their ideas to others.

Future Pathways: Design and Visual Communication is a useful subject for students wishing to gain tertiary qualifications or pursue a career in architecture, engineering, product design, interior design, landscape architecture, spatial design, graphic design, and building and construction industries.
