VCV are excited to bring a range of inspirational VCD teachers, University lecturers and Industry Professionals to speak at VisCon 2019.
We are happy to announce that the founder and CEO of Good Design Australia, Dr Brandon Gien, will be the keynote.
Brandon is the Founder and CEO of Good Design Australia and Chair of Australia's annual Good Design Awards - the longest running design award program in Australia with its origins dating back to 1958.

He is a Senator of the World Design Organization (WDO), the global body for Industrial Design after leading the organization as its President from 2013 to 2015, the first Australian to hold this position.

As a former President, he regularly consults to the Board of Directors and is currently the Chair of 2022 World Design Capital Selection Committee, a biannual designation granted to cities that use design to strengthen economic, social, cultural and environmental development.

Brandon studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Newcastle where he later graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design. He holds a PhD in Environmental Design from the University of Canberra's School of Design and Architecture.

Brandon was made a Design Ambassador to Japan, an international design advocacy role organised by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.

He is an Adjunct Professor of Industrial Design at the University of Canberra and co-host of popular TV series, Australia by Design on Channel 10 and Network ONE.
With a focus on good design... WE have experienced and talented VCD teachers who will be speaking about a range of topics to help inspire and educate and provide you with some wonderful resources to take back to the classroom.
The topics will cover:

Design thinking - How does design thinking inspire and inform good design, including some practical design thinking strategies to try.

Environmental Design - Introduction to the architecture commissions - NGV & M pavilion - and how to teach environmental design in the classroom.
VCV are excited to welcome Wayne Thompson from Australian Type Foundry to speak about branding and typography.
ATF developed the new rebranding for the ABC and will speak about this process in the relation to the custom designed font, ABC sans.

Typography - What is good typography? How can we encourage and teach students to use good typography? Rules, examples, lesson ideas.

Design in Context - Practical activity for teachers to be a student and experience the challenges of creating good designs.

Art

My current practice explores the intertwined and woven aspects of a career in the arts as a/r/tographer and seeks to intertwine my fields of art education, digital (e)portfolios, creativity and curriculum design. My work seeks to create new conversations with the seminal thinkers through a process of cutting, layering and weaving so that their voices can work together to create new discourse for contemporary art education.

As an artist/research/teacher much of my work is self exploration and is based upon making art as a researcher-teacher, researching as an artist-teacher and teaching as an artist-researcher.

Research

My research specifically focuses on increasing the integration of digital technologies into the artworld and educational setting through digital badges, portfolios and digital identity formation.

My digital thesis and fully online PhD can be found here:

Coleman, K.S. (2017). An a/r/tist in wonderland: Exploring identity, creativity and digital portfolios as a/r/tographer, Ph.D. dissertation, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne, Australia, 2017. Retrieved from http://www.artographicexplorations.com

Teaching

I have been an art educator since graduating with a B. Art Education in 1994 from the College of Fine Arts University of New South Wales. This degree took me into full time secondary visual arts teaching in studio art, photography, video and digital imaging, and ceramics and later back into art education as a researcher at UNSW, that developed into museum education.
​
​I have been in higher education as a lecturer, researcher and academic developer since 2009 when my master's research brought me into a new space of digital learning and teaching.

ARTS PROJECT AUSTRALIA
TEMPORARY CLOSURE

Over this year, we have been keeping a very close eye on COVID-19 daily cases and government advice. From early June, we were engaging in a very slow return to the studio for a limited number of artists. Since the introduction of stage 3, and now stage 4, restrictions, t he progression of transmission of COVID19 in the community and with the interests and health of both staff and artists in mind, we have made the decision to close the APA premises for the foreseeable future.

If you need to contact APA, please call during regular business hours and we will endeavour to return your call as soon as possible. Website sales will be available for collection or posted once restrictions are lifted: we apologise for any inconvenience. We hope everyone stays safe and healthy, and look forward to seeing you again when the Victorian restrictions ease. Regular updates from our management team will be posted to our website, with more detailed information for artists, families and carers available on our Studio Page.

COVID-19 UPDATE: ARTS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY CLOSED. WE CONTINUE TO OPERATE ONLINE AND SALES WILL BE PROCESSED ONCE A WEEK.

Given the developments of Covid-19 around the world and its immediate and short-term economic ramifications we have decided to postpone the Brand New Conference until October of next year.

This was an extremely difficult (and sad) decision to make as this conference is so important to us on so many levels but there is no scenario this year in which we can put on the conference in a way that is financially sustainable for us and, more importantly, in a way that is socially responsible for the finances, health, and well-being of our speakers, attendees, sponsors, and volunteers.
We have secured new dates in Austin, in the same venue, for October 7 - 8, 2021.

That was over fourteen years ago. Since then we've welcomed more than 300 speakers at our annual lecture events in Wales, the USA and Australia. And we've held courses and workshops with over 3,000 people. Simple ideas are often the best.

Client

Doug Brown, founder and director of Bayblue. Bayblue is a website and organisation dedicated to independent music, creativity, current issues and youth culture. The client, through Bayblue, has organised several live music events, promoted upcoming musicians and created an online discussion forum with a focus on such issues. Bayblue's latest project is a summer music festival to be situated around Balnarring, Victoria in January, intended to cater for around 7000 people.

Communication needs

The client requires an information booklet to be accessed via online or as a hardcopy distributed at the festival, and a free-standing menu board to be used at a small food stall.

Audience

The audience at the music festival consists of males and females, aged between 15 and 35, who are interested in alternative contemporary culture, live music and preservation of the environment. They are predominantly well educated and from a middle-class socioeconomic background. They live mainly in Victoria due to the location of the festival, although the Bayblue Music Festival is dedicated to Australian music and the website itself is aimed at the youth of Australia.

Presentation 1:

Information booklet available on line or to be collected on arrival at the festival.

Purpose

To inform the audience of the festival's rules, events and features. To identify and promote the corporate identity of the organisation and website through the use of a logo and advertising.

Audience

People attending the festival (as stated above).

Context

The information booklet will be available online prior to the event or distributed to each person as they arrive at the festival. It will provide them with details of the festival and double as a souvenir.

Expectations and constraints

The booklet should include information about the organisation and its website, featuring contact details and web link. Also included should be general information and details of the festival. The booklet should feature information and photographs of performing artists.

The client insists that the booklet should contain details of the festival that covers: camping information, events timetable and rules. The booklet must also feature a brief biographic paragraph and photograph of each of the headlining performing artists. The booklet must include the fact that the festival is to be located on a private, 90-acre property in Merrick/Balnarring, Victoria, between 6 and 8 January, and list conﬁrmed local headlining artists that include Dan Slayer, Tosh Laws, Tex and the True Believers.

For promotional reasons, the client insists that the booklet must contain basic information regarding the organisation and website, including its aims, features and contact details. The client also requests that a new logo be designed and featured repeatedly within the booklet.

Research will be undertaken into existing festival promotional material from similar festivals such as the Falls and Port Fairy Folk Festivals. A number of options will be trialled during the design process.

Proposed presentation format

Either online or as a booklet is to be printed in four-colour process.

Presentation 2:

Menu board with new logo for a small vegetarian food stall, located within the festival grounds.

Purpose

To attract the target audience to the food stall. To inform the audience of the selection of foods available. To promote the identity of the larger organisation - Bayblue - through inclusion of the logo.

Audience

People attending the festival who prefer vegetarian and/or vegan food.

Context

A menu board to be displayed outside at the Bayblue food stall at the festival.

Expectations and constraints

The menu board should contain text that is clear and legible and attract attention from a distance. The designer must consider the best location on the stall for the sign. The menu must include both the new logo of the organisation along with a new logo design for the stall itself. The board must be durable, weatherproof and fixed to the ground safely.

During the design process the designer will need to explore the possible materials for the construction of the actual menu board. Imagery and colour options explored should reﬂect the wholesome, vegetarian, natural feel of the food stall. It will also need to include a list of foods to be sold and prices.

Proposed presentation format

The menu board design may be presented as a three-dimensional model or concept presentation drawing.

Unit 3 Outcome 1: Analysis and practice in context

On completion of this unit the student should be able to create visual communications for specific contexts, purposes and audiences that are informed by their analysis of existing visual communications in the three design fields.

Students will undertake a series of tasks analysing visual communications, one from each of the three design fields. Using the examples from the three design fields as inspiration, students create their own visual communication presentations. These tasks must provide the opportunity for students to analyse existing visual communications and allow analysis to inform their own practice. Students reflect on connections between their work and that of the studied designer and their work.

The following are examples of approaches to this assessment task. They may be adapted to suit a school's particular needs.

Analysis to inform practice

For this assessment task students may begin by developing a mind map or annotated chart that identifies the key aspects and considerations when decoding a visual communication. Examples should be given in each of the three design fields. The intention of this tool is to determine the visual language used by the designer for this specific visual communication; such as purpose, target audience, context, design elements and design principles, methods, media and material evident. Students use the 'decoding mind map or chart' as the basis to analyse stimulus material provided by the teacher for each of the three design fields. This analysis will break down the visual language used by the designer to gain attention and maintain engagement of the target audience. From this analysis, students form a 'design intention' to stimulate possible approaches for the corresponding practical task. When the practical task is completed, students reflect on the connections between their work and the studied designer's work. The mind map may be submitted before or with the practical task.

Practical production tasks

Practical production tasks are set for each of the three design fields.

Each task contains a separate focus driven by both the brief and the needs and characteristics of each field of design. This allows students to apply specific skills targeted for that task that may differ from the focus of the other tasks set, providing the opportunity in the assessment task to cover a range of skills as required in this area of study. Each separate task may not address all the performance descriptors for this assessment task. Proficiency in the key skills and knowledge for the Outcome will be demonstrated over a range of tasks.

Sample approaches to assessment tasks with analysis material and related practical tasks for each of the three design fields

Sample assessment tasks

Communication Design - Sample 1

Analysis Material:

Examples of architectural award winners from the Australian Graphic Design Association Awards ​website

Practical Task:

Students are given a brief that requires the creation of designs for an exhibition such as 'Plastic Fantastic' a retrospective exhibition of classic designs from the late 20th century to be held at the National Gallery of Victoria, March to June 2018. The target audience is young, design-savvy university students who see 'retro' clothing and op-shopping as 'cool'. Items and presentation formats required are: exhibition poster, billboard, catalogue cover.

Material for submission:

Decoding mind map of visual communications and visualisation drawings and final digital design concepts for each presentation format.

Specific focus of task:

Discuss and deconstruct design using appropriate terminology. Understand different contexts of presentations; use design elements and design principles; communicate to a specific target audience; gain attention and maintain engagement; use digital methods; apply type and layout conventions for communication design.

Communication Design - Sample 2

Analysis Material:

Parks Australia, Kakadu National Park website

Corporately themed examples of advertising and promotional communication design.

Practical Task:

Students conduct research into visual communications in communication design. Use type and layout conventions to visualise and develop final concepts for a variety of presentation formats for a series of advertising and promotional material for Kakadu National Park.

Material for submission:

Short-answer visual analysis of existing communication designs, demonstrating the link with the proposed design concept and research, visualisation drawings and final presentation.

Specific focus of task:

Analyse designs using appropriate terminology. Understand different contexts of presentations; use design elements and design principles; communicate to a specific target audience; gain attention and maintain engagement; use digital methods; apply type and layout conventions for communication design.

Industrial Design - Sample 1

Analysis Material:

Marc Newson

A range of industrial design projects are located on Marc Newson's website under 'Projects'.

Marc Newson has been a finalist in the AGDA awards and his projects are listed on the AGDA Awards website.

The 'Keep Cup'

The design of the 'Keep Cup': A design for a recyclable coffee cup.

Practical Task:

'Drink bottles are too sporty!'...

Students are given a design brief that requires them to design and present concept drawings for a contemporary drink bottle (volume of 600+ ml) that sits more comfortably at the workspace of a young urban professional. It is to be an object that this young trend-setting, design-conscious high achiever will willingly carry from meeting to meeting without looking like he is just walking off a sports field or out of the gym.

Material for submission:

Short-answer visual analysis of existing products containing links with the student's proposed design solution and informative research, observational drawings, visualisation sequence and concept rendering of a chosen design (manual or digital).

Specific focus of task:

Identify, describe and discuss visual communications. Conduct informative research from a variety of sources. Complete observational, visualisation and presentation drawing, drawing to represent form, two- and three-dimensional drawing methods for 'objects' (orthogonal and isometric), concept rendering of form, surface materials and textures.

Industrial Design - Sample 2

Analysis Material:

Analysis Material:

Parks Australia, Kakadu National Park website

Any personal transportations system can be investigated or hired for examination by students.

Students must make links between existing and proposed designs.

Practical Task:

Students record existing industrial design by examining and recording in detail a personal transportation system. They research characteristics of Kakadu National Park. They sketch and develop a variety of ideas for an original personal transportation system that would be physically and aesthetically appropriate for the Kakadu National Park context. They develop one of their designs into a rendered presentation drawing.

Material for submission:

Mind map of industrial design and visualisation drawings and final digital design for each presentation format.

Specific focus of task:

Analyse design examples using appropriate terminology. Conduct informative research from a variety of sources. Complete observational, visualisation and presentation drawing, drawing to represent form, two- and three-dimensional drawing methods for 'objects' (orthogonal and isometric), concept rendering of form, surface materials and textures.

Environmental Design​​ - Sample 1

Analysis Material:

ArchitectureAU​ website has a range of current architectural residential inner city properties which have won awards.

Practical Task:

Students are given a design brief for redeveloping a defined area in their school to incorporate more communal learning spaces, or alternatively, to create a more dramatic entrance to the school. Drawing direct inspiration fro​m a contemporary designer, they are to pitch a concept to the school executive. Each student's visual pitch must include a combination of annotated two- and three-dimensional drawing using conventions appropriate to the Environmental Design Field. The pitch should be no more than 2 x A3 panels that gain attention, inform and depict the design and other features of the building. The drawings must be clear and use correct drawing conventions including: documenting wall types, set-out, dimensioning and using symbols to simplified Australian Standards (see VCAA 'Technical drawings specifications​' (pdf - 5.88mb) ​).

Material for submission:

Written analysis focusing on features and characteristics of examples of environmental design in timed conditions and (no more than) 2 x A3 panels that gain attention, inform and depict (in two and three dimensions) the design features of the building.

Specific focus of task:

Identify, describe and discuss environmental design. Complete drawings that inform/depict environment. Understand the context of site and final drawings. Understand and work with scale and conventions for architectural drawing. Use two- and three-dimensional drawing methods that include perspective, plans and elevations, and planometric. Develop a pitch.

Environmental Design​​ - Sample 2

Analysis Material:

Practical Task:

After examining examples of small residential and commercial structures, students make a series of visualisation drawings to design a café/hire centre for the national park. Students develop two-dimensional plans and elevations. The drawings must be clear and use correct drawing conventions including: documenting wall types, set-out, dimensioning and using symbols to simplified Australian Standards (see VCAA ' Technical drawings specifications​ (pdf - 5.88mb) '). They then use appropriate three-dimensional drawing methods to depict form and space.
