On
this page are 3 links to interactive presentations useful to students of Visual
Communication and Design. The 3 presentations were made by Shane Steegers who is Visual
Communication and Design teacher. They are presented in Macromedia Flash format. If you saw the animated graphic above it means
you have already got the Flash plugin.
Design
Principles an interactive
presentation that shows more detailed examples of each principle
than the VCE study design
Design Elements an interactive presentation that shows more detailed
examples of each element than the VCE study design.
Drawing Systems is an interactive presentation
that makes it easier for you to identify each drawing system and how to go about
constructing a basic example of each.

planning. Solid Edge19 for product/industrial design
