ICT Print Media at Tamaki College

ICT Print Media is an academic course that focuses on applying Print Media design skills and ICT within the context of technology education.

Students use industry standard ICT software, including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and apply the design process to develop solutions based on a specific design brief that is developed by the student.

The course aims to develop skills and knowledge in planning, critical analysis, design, production and evaluation using a range of ICT peripherals.

The following blogs are examples of student work (some requesting feedback on different aspects of design), interviews and completed portfolios.

Calendar Design Brief

Conceptual Statement
In the context of re-packaging the Tamaki Way, there is an issue with getting the story out to the community. The purpose of re-packaging the Tamaki Way, is to give Tamaki College a positive image. My intended design solution is to produce a calendar to mail out to companies, teacher and parents of Tamaki College students.

Specifications
Calendar:
A4 size, to fit in an envelope
Must have colourful images
Must portray the school in a positive way

Client needs:
Waves, weaving and stars
Colourful timeless images of students
Values and key competencies
School colours – white, navy, blue and maroon
School font – Times New Roman

General:
The number of pages needs to be 24 because there are 12 months in a year which includes the dates and images as well
Types of fonts – Sans serif because its clearer and readable
Types of materials – cardboard type (250gsm)
