- A mix of new and proven assessment tasks and new end-of-chapter activities cover all Study Design outcomes, provide practical applications for building folios, and help students consolidate their knowledge and understanding as they prepare for exams.
- Practical advice and recent VCE student work supports students as they work on their major design projects, including developing a brief, exploring design concepts, and presenting their final work.
- The Interactive Textbook brings the study of Visual Communication Design to life with auto-marked online activities, and a wide range of videos, including how-to demonstrations, and case study support.
- The key knowledge and skills requirements of each Area of Study are outlined at the start of every chapter to support teachers’ delivery of the new Study Design.
