GRAPHIC DESIGN PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE A

VPA3GPA

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject we examine professional practice in the advertising industry. Students conduct market research, examine research data, and make proposals for change through the development of a marketing strategy for a consumer product. Students prepare packaging, product re-branding, develop promotional material, corporate style and track responses to their proposed strategy through `mock board-room' presentations and external research. Assessment is based upon presentation of the material in digital `power-point' style to the class (market group) and hard-copy `folio' presentation of advertising/packaging material. Lectures include video presentations of case studies, discussions of copyright issues; sexual politics in marketing and branding, social demographic tracking and human psychological responses to marketing stimuli.
