Graphic Design at UCK

One of Rosie’s assignments for HNGD 002 was to choose two decades which she had to research. Her task was to draw conclusions about the world’s historical events of these decades and how they influenced art and design movements then present this information in a graphical essay of approximately 1000 words. The main purpose of this assignment was to test research skills. Rosie’s well-written assignment (which you probably can’t read from such small jpeg images) was accompanied by a great example of a long Harvard Referencing bibliography.

If anyone can tell me how to make these images larger without blurring the words, go for it. But you can get the general idea here.

Rosie chose to look at 1910-1920 and 1970-1980.

And there you have it.
One example of what the decade assignment for HNGD 002 could look like.

Note that with this assignment, you should also be submitting a folder full of research.
The more the better!

Derrick chose Iron Man for his preview night assignment. The task was to produce a preview night poster, a brochure, a free gift and an invite for the chosen event. Again, the process of creating the final submission was just as important as the end result.

And there’s an idea of the preview night assignment for HNGD 006. Not all preliminary work was included here, but again, an idea.
