Mini Exhibition - SD2113 Common Design Studio

An exhibition of amazing experimental designs created for the "SD2113 Common Design Studio" subject by year 1 students of BA(Hons) Scheme in Design 2022/23. The subject covers both 3D and 2D skills. 

About SD2113 Common Design Studio - 3D

The primary role of designer is a form giver who can shape abstract values into a tangible form through the manipulation of basic visual elements and application of the principles of form abstraction and visual relationships.  

To enrich the aesthetic sensibility and analytical ability of design student through crafting form and space and articulating the representation of visual elements and structures of the 3-dimensional visual perception. Student will build up their own ways of seeing, confidence in research and creative expression of the visual qualities for tackling future complex design problems including the interaction of user-artefact in the product and spatial design contexts. 

Through learning by doing, the three co-related constructivist learning activities including i) organic form creation, ii) static & dynamic form, and iii) placemaking form are facilitated. Assignments include sketches, mock-ups making, final prototypes, discussion, critiques, process book, and final presentation.

About SD2113 Common Design Studio - 2D

Lauren Schleimer defines visual culture as the visible expressions of a group, state, or civilisation that collectively embody the characteristics of that entity. In this module, we explore the potential of key media in visual culture - namely lens-based imagery - through an engaging project over the past few weeks. These media, such as photography and video, dominate our daily visual experiences in bustling cities like Hong Kong and serve as major modes of communication, design, and entertainment in contemporary lifestyles. This subject provides students with the opportunity to use lens-based media to convey the essence of a community. 

Objectives

• To introduce the methods, skills, and knowledge required for professional, studio-based design work. 
• To introduce design processes within design cluster-specific subject matters through 2D design.
• To practise on industry and consumer visual narrative storytelling, storyboarding and temporal media, graphic composition, visual media precedent, and audience conceptualisation.
