For each example:** - Describe how you think the texture was applied (What tools and techniques were used?). - Why do you think the texture was chosen (How does the texture relate to the message, what additional meaning does it convey)? **Following one of the video tutorials, Create a texture or pattern and apply it to a typographic composition.** - Use something from your environment as source material. - The type can be anything you like. A word, a quote, a lyric, a question, a line from a movie. - Experiment with the texture or pattern positioning (background, on top, blended into the composition). **I’m missing one more activity that relates more to comprehension of the reading material.** ### Tutor and student interactions - Group Discussion (Good sources of textures online, Teams channels) - One on one Q&A. (Make contact with each student) - Group presentation and feedback. (learners present their findings/results from the examples they found) - Software Demonstration. (Converting texture to bitmap for use in distressed type in InDesign) - Presentation and discussion of typographic compositions. # Banknote Design Design a novelty or commemorative bank note. Using a historical event as inspiration. The event could be real or fictional.  ##### Examples - A New Zealand $10 note, to commemorate the Sky City Convention centre fire. - An Eastern-European inspired note to commemorate the destruction of Sokovia (from the Marvel Cinematic Universe). - A Ukrainian bank note to commemorate the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. - A set of banknotes that explores a nations historical contributions to Science, Exploration, or the Arts (other options are possible). ##### Questions - Who was involved? and who should appear in the note? - What iconic imagery should be represented on the note? - What colours will convey the message and represent the value?

It is a diagram that shows all the cut lines and folds of a package in flattened form. They are also used for envelopes, pocket folders and more. There are a few steps toward creating proper, accurate die lines for items such as boxes. Die lines are then created in Adobe Illustrator with certain design standards. You can then use a hard copy of the die line you create to test with the product you are packaging. Once you have it right, hard copy prototypes are made with heavyweight paper or other materials. Following careful checking of prototypes for sturdiness and other factors, the finished packaging product will be ready to hit the shelves.

--- ### Doing (Tasks) ##### Create a die-line from existing box packaging 1. Take an existing packaging box, and unravel it and hand draw the die-line including all cuts and folds, noting the up directions for each panel. 2. Apply measurements to the die-line. 3. Use illustrator to create the die-line. ### Tutor and student interactions List the way learners will engage with the tutor and each other. - Group discussion about good packaging experiences they've had. - Presentation of ideas and option related to sustainability and packaging. - Group presentation and feedback. (learners present their findings/results and seek feed back from each other) - Software Demonstration. (Live demo with questions) - Presentation and discussion of Ideas, techniques, exemplars. # UX/UI introduction (part one) – 6 hours ### Objectives Objectives and tasks should align with a number of learning events outlined in the learner engagement cards. - Describe the difference be UX and UI – *Readings and definition task* - Identify examples of good and bad UX – *Norman Door Task* - Describe principles of Human Centred Design – *Norman door video* ### Reading (2 hours) **What is UX design? 15 user experience design experts weigh in** [https://www.usertesting.com/blog/what-is-ux-design-15-user-experience-experts-weigh-in](https://www.usertesting.com/blog/what-is-ux-design-15-user-experience-experts-weigh-in) > **Consider the following questions:** > > What things does **John Amir-Abbassi** believe are harder engineer and achieve in relation to user experience?
