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.

Yearbook WT Design Brief

Conceptual Statement
In order to pay tribute to the Year 13s of 2008, it is a tradition that Tamaki College celebrates the departing of the Year 13 by holding a graduation, a leavers dinner and also giving them a picture and a year book. In order to celebrate their departure, my client Ms Moore, who is the Deputy Principal of Tamaki College, wanted me to design the year book for 2008, in remembrance of the final year they spent at Tamaki College.
My client wanted to me to report back to her frequently for feedback on the yearbook before approving of it and sending designs to the printers to get it printed in bulk before the graduation day of December 4th 2008.

56 pages (had to be in multiples of 4)
8 out of 56 pages must be coloured pages

Yearbook CM Design Brief

Conceptual Statement
To develop a design solution for my client Ms Moore; one of two deputy principals at Tamaki College. She wanted a yearbook to be designed for the year 13 graduates of 2008. The reason for this is because in recent years the yearbook was poorly designed and was not up to standard because not much effort was put into it. My client wants us to report back to her frequently for feedback on the year book before signing it off and getting it sent away to the printers and back in time for the year 13 graduation on December 4th 2008.

Specifications
Yearbook is A4 sized
The font Times New Roman is not to be used in the yearbook
Resolution at 150/300 ppi depending where the design solution is getting printed

8 out of the 56 pages are to be in colour, the rest in black and white
