UNIT TITLE Developing Your Practice Unit Code CILA5008 Location UCA Canterbury Level 5 Duration (number of weeks) 29 weeks Credit Value 30 Total Learning Hours for Unit 300 Date of approval of this version November 2015
CONTENT Visual Communicators today do not just respond to design problems identified by others, but often instigate themselves visual/ design/ cultural changes. This unit prepares you for this future role. This project that runs throughout Stage 2 acts as a stepping-stone to the personal, self-negotiated work you will be undertaking in Stage 3. It provides a first opportunity for you to be the “author” of a programme of work of your own choice. It will give your practice greater focus as well as provide you with a more in-depth understanding of certain aspects of visual communication practice. You will be able to concentrate on a specialist interest that you hold within the field of illustration and/or animation. This interest can arise out of a focus upon a particular medium or process; or it can develop from a design problematic that you are attracted to. Equally a visual language that you enjoy (e.g. drawing, photography etc.) could become the centre of this unit. Skills workshops will run in parallel to the project work. You may want to choose a skill that aids you directly in the completion of this project, alternatively you could opt for a skill that contributes to your personal profile. At points of this unit you will be encouraged to explore professional aspects of the creative industries, through internships, work experience, competitions and other extra-curricular projects that are client or professional facing. To further develop your identity as a designer you will make a portfolio selected from pieces of your work produced on the course so far. You will be introduced to a range of different portfolio options, from the traditional physical, to contemporary digital formats. You will learn to identify which type of portfolio best presents which type of work. During the third term, your tutor will help you to identify a suitable topic for your dissertation that you will undertake in in your final year. You will be guided in the preparation of a proposal and presentation, containing an extended bibliography, a research plan and a short outline indicating key issues. AIMS
The aims of this unit are: A1 Further develop your ability to explore personal methods and themes that inform your
practice. A2 Encourage the further production of work that is reflective and informed, alongside the
introduction of specialist skills. A3 Enable you to begin to position your work in a broadening range of contexts along with the
preparation of your dissertation for the following year. LEARNING OUTCOMES On satisfactory completion of the unit you will be able to: LO1 Demonstrate the application of a range of methods, practices and themes that inform your
practice. LO2 Reflect on and make informed evaluations of your work and others. LO3 Identify and articulate the importance of the range of contexts in which your work can be
positioned INDICATIVE TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS

CONTENT This unit (taken as the study abroad option) is concentrated into the first term of level 5, so that for the study abroad period (terms 2 and 3) you can focus fully upon the units of study provided by your host institution. In the final three weeks of term 1 you will develop, supported through tutorial/seminar support, a dissertation proposal (in preparation for Level 6) and a study abroad learning plan, to contextualise the study abroad period within the overall development of your practice. Visual Communicators today do not just respond to design problems identified by others, but often instigate themselves visual/ design/ cultural changes. This unit prepares you for this future role.
