100% Coursework

This module aims to provide you with an understanding of the relationship, which can exist between the creative practice and the commercial environment. Whether this is in relation to external clients and private commissions or developing your own range of `design led' products for a contemporary market. You will begin recognize appropriate methods of manufacture, from the inception of ideas and the translation of these as innovative design solutions for batch or mass production.
You will be encouraged to develop your own creative ideas and concepts within the complexities of the commercial realities, gaining knowledge of professional working practices within a designer/maker context. This may include negotiating with clients, suppliers and manufactures in relation to design fees, material costs and or production costs.
You will develop your technical skills through a range of making processes including those used traditionally for batch production or mass production. In addition to this you will be encouraged to convey your design solutions professionally to an audience both visually and verbally.
