- identify and articulate the interaction of designers with their principal collaborators in an industry context;
- make design decisions informed by budgetary and scheduling considerations;
- articulate the production process in a range of creative arts productions, identifying differences;
- identify and solve practical problems affecting design realisation.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- demonstrate well-developed problem-solving abilities in the discipline area, characterised by flexibility of approach;
- apply advanced competencies in areas of professional practice and/or scholarship;
- establish an advanced understanding of the national and international context of the specialist area;
- manage competing demands on time, including self-directed project work;
