This is an opportunity to develop verbal communication skills through peer-to-peer engagement including presentations to larger groups, tutorials and participation in self and peer assessment including written and verbal feedback with an emphasis on communicating effectively.
Students will have the opportunity to develop strategies for solving visual communication problems including developing a website, photo shoot and styling, illustration development and technical drawing skills.
