Level 2 Unit 9: Working with Digital Art and Design Briefs
Unit aim This unit introduces learners to working with digital technologies in art and design briefs. Learners will explore the possibilities of different digital technologies and processes and learn about the formulation, planning and production of digital art and design. Unit introduction Digital art and design encompasses different areas; artists use digital-based processes to produce digital fine art work, sometimes using photographic processes, installation and digitally manipulated imagery amongst others. Digital technologies are also harnessed to produce animated or time-based work. Illustrators can work with digital imagery, or any combination of traditional processes and digital-based production. Digital art and design offers exciting new opportunities to create new forms of work and to involve, interact and collaborate with audiences and participators. Digital art and design briefs can also feature work that is closely related to the graphic communication or new media industries. From digital artists working independently or through digital communities, to companies exploring alternative methods through which to communicate a corporate identity, there is a wealth of outlets for digital art and design. Learners will be taught how to select appropriate source materials, according to the intention of the brief. They will learn how to identify and use the necessary software, techniques, processes, equipment and peripherals to achieve the intended outcome. Learners will experience aspects of producing digital art and design, such as file management, file storage protocols, communication technologies, pre-production and production methods. They will review their outcomes against the original purpose or scope of the projects they work on. Learning outcomes To achieve this unit a learner must: 1 Be able to create visual material using digital technology 2 Be able to plan and develop ideas for a digital art and design brief 3 Understand the successful characteristics and quality of digital art and design work.
