Core Elements
.

The core comprises of all the key elements of Design and Communication Graphics. The core will give students a thorough understanding of the principles of plane and descriptive geometry and the communication of design and computer graphics. There is no designated order in which the elements are to be taught. An integrative approach where links are established between each of the elements of the core where possible would be most beneficial.

The graphics below give a snap shot of the subject matter. Reference should be made to the syllabus document for more detailed information.
