Design Insight and Processes focuses on creative strategies and conventions used in design thinking, visualisation, prototyping, documentation and presentation. Building upon foundations in the theory and practice of design, the course aims to develop skills and understandings that can better integrate strategies employed in the design process, thereby enhancing the realisation of design outcomes within particular contexts.

This course reflects the integrated and inter-disciplinary nature of contemporary design in a wide variety of fields and practices. Through project-based investigations and critical analysis, students will explore issues relating to the the generation of concepts and their creative expression, user experience and social impact. Students will engage in a range of activities where verbal, visual and written interactions contribute to the documentation and communication of their design intentions and solutions.
