In Design Studies 30 students have the opportunity to focus on three different streams to further develop their skills in Design.  You can choose to diversify yourself over all different fields to get exposure in each skill set or you can choose to specialize in on specific skill set.  You must ensure you have the proper prerequisite PRIOR to enrolling in each of these courses. The three different streams and recommended paths (in order) are:

Architectural Design

  1. DES 3035 (2-D Design)  
  2. DES 3045 (3-D Design)
  3. DES 3125 (Interior Design)
  4. DES 3135 (Landscape Design)
  5. DES 3145 (Modeling - REAL)

CAD Design

  1. DES3045 (3-D Design)
  2. DES 3055 (CAD 3)
  3. DES 3115 (Industrial Design)
  4. DES 3910 (DES Project D)
  5. DES 3920 (DES Project E)

Graphic Design

  1. DES 3035 (2-D Design)
  2. DES 3045 (3-D Design)
  3. DES 3910 (DES Project D)
  4. DES 3920 (DES Project E)
  5. DES 3170 (Future of Design)




DES3035: 2-D DESIGN 3

Students apply theories, skills and techniques to resolve complex 2-D design problems. Emphasis is placed on exploring shape, composition, aesthetics, cultural context, materials, processes and systems, while addressing social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

Prerequisite: DES2035: 2-D Design 2

DES3045: 3-D DESIGN 3

Students apply theories, skills and techniques appropriate to 3-D design. Students will deal with such aspects as shaping, massing, proportion, scale, contrast, colour, texture and finish within the context of complex 3-D design projects. Students are introduced to cultural, symbolic and human factors, principles and ergonomic considerations.
