Curriculum

Levels

Levels 7 and 8

By the end of Level 8, students analyse how visual language and visual communication practices are used in visual communication designs they create and experience. They describe ways designers across cultures, times, places and other contexts communicate ideas and information in a range of contexts and fields of design practice, including the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. They identify and describe the ethical, legal and cultural responsibilities of designers working across fields of design practice and apply these principles in their own design practice.
